A comparison of MIMO-OFDM and MIMO-SCFDE in WLAN environments

چکیده
Recent developments in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SCFDE) have sparked debate about the superiority of one method over the other. In this paper, we further this debate by comparing the theoretical performance of OFDM and SCFDE when each is implemented in one of two different multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures: spatial multiplexing and space-time block codes. This study focuses on the use of MIMO-OFDM and MIMO-SCFDE in wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. Performance is given in terms of the packet error rate (PER) and the throughput of the systems.

A 4x4 MIMO-OFDM System with MRC in a Rayleigh Multipath Channel for WLAN
F.O. Tade and Y. Sun University of Hertfordshire Abstract: This paper evaluates a 4x4 MIMO-OFDM system using transmit diversity with MRC at the receive end for WLAN applications. We compare different MIMO detection algorithms with different modulation schemes. The combined MIMO-OFDM using the combined MMSE-SIC method for the IEEE 802.11a/n standards is then implemented and the performances are ...

In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...

This report aims to utilize existing and future Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Wireless Local Area Network (MIMO-OFDM WLAN) systems characteristics—such as multiple subcarriers, multiple antennas, and channel estimation characteristics—for indoor location estimation systems based on the Direction of Arrival (DOA) and Radio Signal Strength Indication (R...
متن کاملBootstrap frequency equalisation for MIMO wireless systems
This paper reports on a new class of equalisation/detection for Wideband Multiple Input Multiple Output Communications Systems (MIMO). The proposed scheme is somewhat akin to a multi-carrier MIMO system, and more precisely, builds upon a Single Carrier Frequency Domain Equalised (SCFDE) MIMO System. At the core of our system lies a novel concept of iterative self-reused equalisation/detection (...
متن کاملSelective Tone Reservation method for PAPR reduction in SFBC-OFDM systems
The high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and MIMO-OFDM systems reduces the system efficiency. In this paper, an extension of Tone Reservation (TR) method is introduced for PAPR reduction in Space Frequency Block Coded OFDM (SFBC-OFDM) systems. The proposed algorithm is based on a time domain kernel which is added to the signal of the anten...
