Error performance of information decoder for SWIPT with integrated receiver

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer can be realized by means of an integrated receiver, where both the energy harvester and the information decoder operate on the rectified received signal. We investigate the effect of the …

Optimized precoded spatio-temporal partial-response signaling over frequency-selective MIMO channels

Due to the continuous demand for higher bit rates, the management of the spatio-temporal intersymbol interference in frequency-selective multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels becomes increasingly important. For single-input single-output …

BER evaluation of OFDM systems with joint effect of TI-ADC circuit’s gain mismatch and channel estimation error

Closed-form BER expression for OFDM with the effect of TI-ADC’s timing mismatch

Timing mismatch in time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI-ADCs) may cause a significant performance degradation in high-speed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. To evaluate the impact of this impairment in such …

Accurate and efficient BER evaluation for high-speed OFDM systems impaired by TI-ADC circuit’s gain mismatch

This paper presents an efficient procedure to numerically evaluate the exact bit error rate of a rectangular quadrature amplitude modulated-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system that is impaired by the gain mismatch of a …

Theoretical performance evaluation and optimization of UW-OFDM

Unique-word (UW) OFDM is a new OFDM variant that offers several advantages over cyclic prefix OFDM, such as better bit-error-rate (BER) performance in frequency selective channels and much lower out-of-band radiation. However, all results with …

A simple importance sampling technique for orthogonal space-time block codes on Nakagami fading channels

In this contribution, we present a simple importance sampling technique to considerably speed up Monte Carlo simulations for bit error rate estimation of orthogonal space-time block coded systems on spatially correlated Nakagami fading channels.

Indoor off-body wireless MIMO communication with dual polarized textile antennas

Off-body data communication for firefighters and other rescue workers is an important area of development. The communication with a moving person in an indoor environment can be very unreliable due to channel fading. In addition, when considering …
