In this paper, dual-branch pre-distorted enhanced asymmetrically clipped direct current (DC) biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PEADO-OFDM) for underwater wireless communication (UOWC) is firstly proposed and simulated. The performances of PEADO-OFDM on the channel model (UOCM) are analyzed further compared with typical ADO-OFDM. Using Monte Carlo method modeling UOCM, w...

N-continuous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (NC-OFDM) is a promising technique to obtain significant sidelobe suppression for baseband OFDM signals, in future 5G wireless communications. However, the precoder of NC-OFDM usually causes severe interference and high complexity. To reduce the interference and complexity, this paper proposes an improved time-domain N-continuous OFDM (TD-...

Optical spatial modulation (OSM) is a multiple-transmitter technique that can provide higher data rates with low system complexity as compared to single-input singleoutput (SISO) systems. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is widely implemented to achieve better spectral efficiency in wireless channels. Asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM) and DC-biased optical OFDM (DC...

Fast-OFDM-based intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IM/DD) has been proposed for deployment of cost-efficient optical access networks, due to its implementation simplicity high spectral efficiency. In this article, the accuracy generalised memory polynomial (GMP) non-linear modelling Fast-OFDM links is studied, including effects considering different model parameters. After validation us...

In this work various channel estimation algorithms of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Multiple Input Multiple Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) are studied. The result of Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) channel estimation algorithm was compared with the Least Squares (LS) and Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) for both OFDM and MIMO-O...

In this paper, we consider different types of guard intervals for OFDM systems, i.e. cyclic prefix (CP), zero padding (ZP) and known symbol padding (KSP). We compare the different OFDM systems with respect to their SNR performance. We show that CP-OFDM and ZP-OFDM have exactly the same performance, whereas KSP-OFDM has a slightly worse performance. Further, we consider data aided channel estima...

Fifth generation (5G) wireless networks must meet the needs of emerging technologies like Internet Things (IoT), Vehicle-to-everything (V2X), Video on Demand (VoD) services, Device to communication (D2D) and many other bandwidth-hungry multimedia applications that connect a huge number devices. 5G demand better bandwidth efficiency, high data rates, low latency, reduced spectral leakage. To the...

Abstract OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is an excellent technology that will almost certainly play a large role in next generation wireless communication systems. However, in OFDM, no frequency diversity is exploited to improve BER performance. Today’s OFDM systems attempt to overcome this limitation by application of channel coding and interleaving, which requires a reductio...

The use of frequency-domain interleaving on a frame-byframe basis for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) combined with time division multiplexing (OFDM/TDM) is presented. In conventional OFDM, FDE is not designed to exploit the channel frequencyselectivity and consequently, the frequency diversity gain cannot be obtained. To further improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of...
