Optimum Noise Thresholds in Decision Directed Impulse Noise Mitigation for OFDM
Overview Impulse noise is a significant problem in some OFDM applications including digital television broadcasting. This paper studies the optimum threshold values for a novel decision directed impulse noise mitigation algorithm. In this algorithm the noise component in each received input sample is estimated based on preliminary decisions on the transmitted data. When the noise estimate if above a given threshold, it indicates that impulse noise is present in the sample and the estimated noise component is subtracted from the input sample before final demodulation. In this paper the optimum threshold levels for varying impulse noise parameters are calculated.
