In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient method to solve the large dimension Adaptive Subcarrier Assignment and Bit Allocation (ASABA) problem of multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system. Our algorithm consists of three Ordinal Optimization (OO) stages to find a good enough solution to the considered problem. First of all, we reformulate the considered problem to...

This paper introduces a novel waveform for wireless communication, denoted as Frequency-Modulated Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (FM-OFDM). By frequency-modulating an OFDM signal and further defining suitable cutoff subcarrier, the resulting constant-envelope (ensuring low Peak to Average Power Ratio) exhibits strong robustness not only Doppler, but also phase noise carrier frequenc...

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), also known as multicarrier modulation (Bingham, 1990; Cimini Jr, 1985; Keller & Hanzo, 2000; Le Floch, Alard, & Berrou, 1995; Sari, Karam, & Jeanclaude, 1995; Wang & Giannakis, 2000; Zou & Wu, 1995), relies on the concept of parallel data transmission in the frequency domain and mainly owes its success to the easy equalization for linear time-i...

Abstract— A Radio over Fiber (RoF) distribution network based on single-mode fiber (SMF) and a combination of coherence multiplexing (CM) and subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) is proposed. CM is a relatively unknown and potentially inexpensive form of photonic code-division multiplexing, and is used here as a means to distinguish between the radio access points (RAPs). Two alternative CM network to...

In this paper, an adaptive subcarrier assignment method based on a stable matching algorithm is considered. From the performance comparison with other assignment methods (Hungarian-algorithm-based, contiguous and interleaved), our assignment method, while of relatively low complexity, resulted in a satisfactory performance in terms of per-ONU and overall achievable throughputs, and also it resp...

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a scheme to reduce the energy consumption of optical line terminal (OLT) in wavelength division multiplexing - orthogonal frequency division multiplexing - passive optical networks (WDM-OFDM-PONs). In our scheme, a wireless communication technique, termed layered modulation, is introduced to maximize the transmission capacity of OFDM modulation module i...

This paper proposes an adaptive subcarrier and bit allocation technique for multiuser OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system based on genetic algorithm. The objective is to minimize the overall transmission power while ensuring the per user’s data rate and Bit Error Rate (BER) requirements. This has been achieved by developing a search algorithm based on genetic system. Simula...

Conventional Orthogonal Frequency–Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receivers disregard oversized guard intervals. An (adaptive) Nyquist–shaped receive window could exploit signal samples in its unconsumed portion to improve demodulation. The OFDM transmitter is not modified, subcarrier orthogonality is preserved, and the DFT size may be retained. In this paper, we optimize the window shape by consi...

Next generation wireless networks must provide high broadband access, which can be achieved by combining the fiber optics and wireless technologies. In this paper we analyze a mm-wave radio over fiber (RoF) optical access network architecture, combining radio subcarrier multiplexing techniques to improve system efficiency with fiber dispersion mitigation provided by optical single sideband modu...

Analogue Modulation techniques, such as subcarrier multiplexing (SCM), are receiving much attention due to the advantage of centralised signal processing utilising a single wavelength combined with huge fibre bandwidth capability. Nonlinearity in the system, especially the E/O converter device, tends to be a limiting factor affecting the dynamic range capabilities of the system in terms of the ...
