Optimisation of the transmitter layout in a VLP system using an aperture-based receiver

In this paper, we consider a visible light positioning (VLP) system, where an array of photo diodes combined with apertures is used as a directional receiver and a set of inexpensive and energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is used as …

Weighted sumrate maximizing hybrid precoder for MU-MISO-OFDM

In multi-antenna transceivers with all-digital beamforming, the number of radio frequency (RF) chains necessarily equals the number of antennas, which entails a large hardware complexity and power consumption when deploying large antenna arrays. …

The effect of phase noise in OCDM

Orthogonal Chirp Division Multiplexing (OCDM), a chirp based waveform, has gathered interest because of its robustness to time and frequency selective channels. In this work, we study the phase noise effect in OCDM, which has not been investigated in …

Adaptive pilot allocation for estimating sparse uplink MU-MIMO-OFDM channels

We consider uplink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication. The transmit (Tx) side of the envisaged system consists of several single-antenna users or/and several …

Adaptive pilot allocation for estimating sparse uplink MU-MIMO-OFDM channels

We consider uplink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication. The transmit (Tx) side of the envisaged system consists of several single-antenna users or/and several …

Modified SNR gap approximation for resource allocation in LDPC-coded multicarrier systems

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gap approximation provides a closed-form expression for the SNR required for a coded modulation system to achieve a given target error performance for a given constellation size. This approximation has been widely used …

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 …

BER analysis of high-speed OFDM systems in the presence of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter's offset mismatch

Time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI-ADCs) are widely used for multi-Gigabit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems because of their attractive high sampling rate and high resolution. However, mismatch between the …
