Optimality of single-carrier zero-padded block transmissions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the class of linear precoded (LP) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. We first show that single-carrier zero-padded transmissions, termed ZP-only, can be viewed as a special case of LP-OFDM. By resorting to the pair-wise error probability analysis, we establish the optimality of ZP-only among the LP-OFDM class in terms of its performance in random frequency-selective channels. It is shown that ZP-only enjoys maximum diversity and coding gains. We also consider various decoding options for ZP-only, and compare them in terms of performance and complexity.

An OFDM interpretation of zero padded block transmissions
Orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) systems are particularly straightforward to understand in the frequency domain. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the fact that zero padded block transmissions also have a straightforward frequency domain interpretation. The advantages of this interpretation are illustrated by three additional results which further the understanding...

A novel multiuser-interference (MUI)-free code division multiple access (CDMA) transceiver for frequency-selective multipath channels is developed in this paper. Relying on chip-interleaving and zero padded transmissions, orthogonality among different users’ spreading codes is maintained at the receiver even after frequency-selective propagation. As a result, deterministic multiuser separation ...

متن کاملJoint Time-Frequency Diversity for Single-Carrier Block Transmission in Frequency Selective Channels
In time-varying frequency selective channels, to obtain high-rate joint time-frequency diversity, linear dispersion coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (LDC-OFDM), has recently been proposed. Compared with OFDM systems, single-carrier systems may retain the advantages of lower PAPR and lower sensitivity to carrier frequency offset (CFO) effects, which motivates this paper to invest...
