Differential Modulation Diversity for OFDM

Overview The application of Differential Modulation Diversity (DMD) to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with multiple transmit and/or receive antennas is considered. Based on diagonal signals originally designed for differential space-time modulation, DMD is used to exploit both space and frequency diversity. At the receiver, low-complexity decision-feedback differential detection without channel state information is employed. Judging from analytical expressions for the pairwise error probability, the improvements and effects due to spatial and/or spectral modulation diversity are pointed out. The numerical results are in good accordance with the presented simulation results.

Ovum View: BT in pole position for wireless LAN

Due to problems with interference in the frequency bands employed by WLAN and other technologies, only a very limited number of WLAN service providers are likely to be able, or permitted, to operate in any given locale.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Wireless everything

We can create complex digital signals that occupy a broad swath of frequency space and still filter them out at the receiver. Sometimes this is experienced when atmospheric conditions cause unexpected interference, with signals propagating from one...

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.
