It is widely accepted that single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is an excellent candidate for broadband wireless systems. Channel estimation is one of the key challenges in SC-FDMA, since accurate channel estimation can significantly improve equalization at the receiver and, consequently, enhance the communication performances. In this paper, we study the application of c...

The fundamental intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) deployment problem is investigated for IRS-assisted networks, where one IRS arranged to be deployed in a specific region assisting the communication between an access point (AP) and multiple users. Specifically, three schemes are considered, namely non-orthogonal (NOMA), frequency division (FDMA), time (TDMA). weighted sum rate maximization j...

This paper presents virtual clusters based proportional fairness and resource allocation scheme for Localized Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (L-SC-FDMA). L-SC-FDMA has been selected as the uplink transmission scheme in 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) due to its low Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) over OFDMA in general and high rate-sum capacity over Interleaved SC-FDMA in p...

the opportunity of a detailed link adaptation scheme. The combination of these transmission-and multiple access techniques in OFDM-FDMA is an ideal and very strong candidate for the downlink of future 4G mobile communication systems. This technical combination offers high cell capacities by exploiting the inherent multi user diversity effect of the system. To apply OFDM-FDMA in the uplink, the ...

In this paper, we propose multi-h CPM-SC-FDMA, a novel transmission scheme which combines many of the key characteristics of continuous phase modulation (CPM) with single carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) to produce a power efficient, robust modulation which is suitable for high-rate multiple-access aeronautical telemetry applications. The basis of our approach is found in th...

In this paper, we propose an iterative minimum mean square error detection with interference cancellation (MMSED-IC) for frequency-domain filtered single carrier (SC)-frequency-division multipleaccess (FDMA) uplink transmission. The use of a square-root Nyquist transmit filter reduces the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) while increases the frequency-diversity gain. However, if carrier-freque...

The thesis determines the optimal policy (out of successive decoding and FDMA) that minimizes the sum power of the users in the presence of coding gap while meeting their minimum rate requirements in a time-varying channel for the uplink setup. It is shown that, in the presence of coding gap, successive decoding is no longer an optimal policy in all channel states and that there are certain cha...

Abstract: Single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) which utilizes single carrier modulation at the transmitter and frequency domain equalization at the receiver is a technique that has similar performance and essentially the same overall structure as those of an OFDMA system. One prominent advantage over OFDMA is that the SC-FDMA signal has lower peak-to-average power ratio (...

In this paper, the resource allocation problem for multi-user SC-FDMA uplink systems with zero forcing equalizers is investigated. By the use of the equal power allocation, the problem of maximizing the total achievable rate with separate power constraints is transformed to the problem of subcarrier allocation to users. In this paper, iterative subcarrier allocation schemes are proposed to impr...
