Adaptive Loading in MIMO/OFDM Systems

Overview Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a powerful technique employed in communications systems suffering from frequency selectivity. Combined with multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver as well as adaptive modulation, OFDM proves to be robust against channel delay spread. Furthermore, it leads to significant data rates with improved bit error performance over links having only a single antenna at both the transmitter and receiver. This paper demonstrates OFDM with adaptive modulation applied to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems.

TI's 'turbo Wi-Fi' - still born?

In the 802.11g standards battle, PBCC eventually lost ground to OFDM, or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, as the modem of choice. The technique TI uses to boost turbo Wi-Fi's speed is known as PBCC (Packet Binary Convolutional Coding).

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Wireless everything

The interference problem was gross as the nearest transmitter to your receiver dominated. We can create complex digital signals that occupy a broad swath of frequency space and still filter them out at the receiver.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
