Performance of an Adaptive Multiuser OFDM Uplink With Carrier Frequency Offsets

Overview Using an OFDM based uplink for the future cellular network has been controversial issue due to difficulties in time and frequency synchronization and high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). In this paper, a model is provided to quantify the effects of carrier frequency offsets in a multiuser OFDM uplink. The paper proposes a slotted OFDM radio interface, in which time-frequency bins are allocated adaptively to different users based on their channel conditions. Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) is assumed, which enables the feedback of synchronization and scheduling information. The theoretical evaluations show that the attainable spectral efficiency highly depends on the carrier frequency offset. The results indicate that the loss in spectral efficiency is small with no more than 2% carrier frequency offset of the subcarrier spacing.

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. PBCC is one way for wireless networks to attach digital information to radio waves.

Siemens claims gigabit wireless breakthrough

OFDM is already in use for digital radio and television transmissions and ADSL, and is likely to be part of at least one ultrawideband standard. The demonstration at its Munich laboratories on Tuesday reached speeds of 1Gbps, twenty times faster...

Radioactive: Bluetooth - survival of the fastest

The opposing technology approaches are orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and direct sequence (DS)-UWB. The first work was the development of what was then called impulse radio, baseband or carrier-free communications back in the 1960s.

Setting radio free

UWB could prevent the main licensed user of a band from improving the spectral efficiency of his system, and could restrict future developments that could have even greater benefits", he said. It's not good enough to have hard-wired rules such as...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

The intention is to develop a set of standards for frequency, authentication and communications that will allow two or more vehicles within radio communications range to connect automatically and establish an ad hoc network.

Complexity makes travellers miss their connection

In the not too distant future, you will be able to add 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE), mobile WiMax, multiple in multiple out (MiMo) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to the mix. David Perry, product marketing, carrier, VoIP and...

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.
