OFDM Transmission Corrupted by Impulsive Noise
نویسندگان
چکیده
OFDM is a promising technique being used for bandwidth efficient communication over the power-line channel. It provides excellent possibilities to adapt to the frequency-selectivity of the channel. The influence of impulsive noise on the OFDM transmission is not well analyzed yet. We choose Middletons Class A man-made noise model to statistically describe the impulsive interference and study the capacity of the additive impulsive noise channel. With the obtained results we will discuss the loss in performance, if the conventional OFDM-receiver designed for Gaussian noise is used for reception on such a channel. In the second part we describe a new iterative algorithm suited to suppress impulse-like interference.

In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

This correspondence presents the characterisation of impulse noise effects on the space-time blockcoded orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (STBC-OFDM) symbol reception, in which the conventional OFDM system is combined with the antenna-diversity/spatial-diversity in order to achieve the high data transmission rates. The weak impulse noise may be combated by the longer OFDM symbol durati...
