With its robustness against multipath fading, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become the modulation of choice for many modern wireless standards. However, OFDM is very sensitive to offsets in frequency and time. This makes synchronization an essential part of an OFDM system. This paper aims to motivate and analyze past work on OFDM synchronization techniques.

The performance comparison of the most feasible multiple access techniques proposed for fourth generation wireless communication systems, i.e., Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) is evaluated. The objective is to find the most suitable technique for implementation in 4G Communication Systems. The modems of OFDM and MC-CDMA...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing scheme being spectrally efficient is used in modern communication systems. To achieve error free communication guard interval is inserted using cyclic prefix and zero padding. The Bit Error Rate (BER) performance for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with 16-QAM and varying length of guard interval (GI) is presented.

Multiple-input multiple-output spatial multiplexing (MIMO-SM) ultrawideband (UWB) systems with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signaling are developed. It is shown that the proposed linear and nonlinear receivers offer substantial spatial diversity beside data rate enhancement.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is technique of multi-carrier modulation in which a single high rate data-stream is first divided into multiple low rate data-streams and is then modulated using sub-carriers. These sub-carriers are orthogonal to each other. Its main advantages are multipath delay spread tolerance, high spectral efficiency, immunity to Frequency Selective Fading...

In this paper we investigate the deployment of filtered multitone (FMT) modulation over in-home wireless channels. We propose the adaptation of parameters (overhead factor) to the channel condition. Optimal and sub-optimal approaches are described. Comparisons with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) show that FMT provides significant improvements both in single user and multi use...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is one of the most arising technologies for digital communication. An OFDM signal is the addition of many individual signals modulated over a group of orthogonal subcarriers with same bandwidth. Because of its high robustness against interference, this technology becomes fundamental for modern wireless standards. In the proposed paper, OFDM is implemen...

We propose a spectral efficient radio over wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) system by combining optical polarization division multiplexing (PDM) and wireless multiple input multiple output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing techniques. In our experiment, a training-based zero forcing (ZF) channel estimation algorithm is designed to compensate the polarization rotation ...

In several wireless communication systems and standards, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is used widely due to its high spectral efficiency, high data rate, multipath delay spread tolerance, power efficiency, robustness to multipath fading channels and immunity to the frequency selective fading channels.
