BER of high-speed OFDM systems in the presence of offset mismatch of TI-ADCs

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, in practice, offset …

Goodput-maximizing resource allocation in cognitive radio BIC-OFDM systems with DF relay selection

We propose a novel resource allocation (RA) strategy for a cognitive radio packet-oriented bit-interleaved coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (BIC-OFDM) system with decode-and-forward (DF) relays. The aim of the RA …

Offset mismatch calibration for TI-ADCs in high-speed OFDM systems

Time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TIADCs) are widely used for multi-Gigabit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based systems because of their attractive high sampling rate and high resolution. However, when not perfectly …

Effect of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter mismatches on OFDM performance

For the extremely high sampling rate and high resolution required for multi-Gigabit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems, time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are being considered. However, in …

On the pilot carrier placement in multicarrier-based systems

In traditional multicarrier systems, the pilot carriers used to estimate the channel are placed as uniform as possible over the bandwidth. However, with the raise of cognitive radio systems, where the multicarrier system is used by the secondary …

Iterative decision-directed joint frequency offset and channel estimation for KSP-OFDM

We propose an iterative decision-directed joint frequency offset (FO) and channel estimation algorithm in a known symbol padding (KSP) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, where the guard interval is filled with pilot symbols. …

Application layer ARQ for protecting video packets over an indoor MIMO-OFDM link with correlated block fading

The quality of experience (QoE) of IP-packetized streaming video is affected by both packet loss and packet delay variations. When the network delivering the video content contains a wireless link, occasional deep fades give rise to bursts of packet …

Near optimal iterative channel estimation for KSP-OFDM

In this paper, we propose an iterative 'turbo' channel estimation algorithm for known symbol padding (KSP) OFDM, where the guard interval is filled with pilot symbols. Additional pilot symbols are transmitted on some of the OFDM carriers. The channel …
