Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

tones, or subcarriers.
– Individual information symbols are conveyed over the subcarriers.

overlap with each other.

OFDM
• Design issues of OFDM– Cyclic prefix (CP): To maintain orthogonality among subcarriers in the
presence of multi-path channel, CP longer than the channel impulse response is needed. Also CP converts linear convolution of the channel impulse response into a circular one.
– High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR): Since the transmit signal is a composition of multiple subcarriers, high peaks occur.
– Carrier frequency offset: Frequency offset breaks the orthogonalityand causes inter-carrier interference.
– Adaptive scheme or channel coding is needed to overcome the spectral null in the channel.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access

– Scheduler can exploit frequency-selectivity and multi-user diversity.

Frequency Domain Equalization
• For broadband multi-path channels, conventional time domain equalizers are impractical because of complexity.– Very long channel impulse response in the time domain.
– Prohibitively large tap size for time domain filter.
• Using discrete Fourier transform (DFT), equalization can be done in the frequency domain.
• Because the DFT size does not grow linearly with the length of the channel response, the complexity of FDE is lower than that of the equivalent time domain equalizer for broadband channel.

SC/FDE
• SC/FDE delivers performance similar to OFDM with essentially the same overall complexity, even for long channel delay.
• SC/FDE has advantage over OFDM in terms of:– Low PAPR.
– Robustness to spectral null.
– Less sensitivity to carrier frequency offset.
• Disadvantage to OFDM is that channel-adaptive subcarrier bit and power loading is not possible.

Channel-Dependent Scheduling
• Assign subcarriers to a user in good channel condition.
• Two subcarrier mapping schemes have advantages over each other.– Distributed: Frequency diversity.
– Localized: Frequency selective gain with CDS.
• CDS is a scheme to find an optimal set of subcarriers that are allocated to each user that maximizes some utility based on each user’s channel response.
