M-QAM OFDM and PCC-OFDM Performance in the Presence of Phase Noise

Overview This paper addresses the issue of OFDM and PCC-OFDM systems impaired by phase noise (PN). PCC-OFDM is a variation of OFDM in which data is mapped onto adjacent subcarrier pairs. As a result intercarrier interference (ICI) in adjacent subcarriers is cancelled. Phase noise in OFDM causes both ICI and common phase error (CPE). PCC-OFDM reduces the ICI component, but the CPE is unchanged. Theoretical and simulations results for bit error rate (BER) are presented for M-QAM OFDM and PCC-OFDM systems over Rayleigh fading channels. The performance with and without CPE correction at the receiver is considered. It is shown that PCC-OFDM has a lower BER in all cases. The theoretical results agree closely with the computer simulations.

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?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
