N -continuous OFDM is a modulation technique that has a lower sidelobe than the original OFDM as a result of the continuous connection with its higher-order derivatives between the OFDM symbols. However, N -continuous OFDM has a high symbol error rate. In the present paper, we improve N -continuous OFDM without increasing the symbol error rate by using a selected mapping technique.

The goal for the fourth generation (4G) of mobile communications system is to seamlessly integrate a wide variety of communication services such as high speed data, video and multimedia traffic as well as voice signals. One of the promising approaches to 4G is adaptive OFDM (AOFDM). In AOFDM, adaptive transmission scheme is employed according to channel fading condition with OFDM to improve the...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is a type of multicarrier modulation technique which is used in wireless communication. OFDM can be used in various wireless and wired application such Digital audio broadcasting, digital video broadcasting & wireless LAN. The Performance of OFDM system depends on various parameters such as using different transform, different modulation and by putting...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been widely adopted in many applications due to its good spectral performance and low sensitivity to impulse noise and multipath channels. It has been widely adopted and standardized in many applications today. It is well known in OFDM that a cyclic prefix (CP) is appended to each symbol in order to mitigate the effect of Inter-Symbol-Interf...

Wireless communication technology is emerging very fast with reliable communication lead to emergence of very numerous technologies. There are various modulation schemes suitable in optical wireless communication like OOK, PPM, DPIM, DHPIM, and OFDM. As modulation techniques is categorized into bandwidth & power efficient but for error performance there are few assumptions where there is no ban...

The Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is currently viewed as an important implementation issue in communication systems. Specifically, for wireless cellular systems the price of the mobile unit is required to remain low. This means that a limited PAPR can be supported. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Single Carrier (SC) are the prominent candidates for the next generation...

Single-sideband (SSB) direct-detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission is experimentally demonstrated in a system with 125 km fiber length, which does not need a guard band between the carrier and the OFDM band. The waveforms of compatible SSB modulation are analytically derived and realized through a single dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator. The requi...

Thompson Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering (Communications Theory and Systems) University of California San Diego, 2005 Professor James R. Zeidler, Chair Professor John G. Proakis, Co-Chair Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a popular modulation technique for wireless digital communications. I...

Generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM), windowed cyclic prefix circular offset quadrature amplitude modulation (WCP-COQAM) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are among the candidate 5G modulation formats. In this study, we present additional results for the OOBE comparisons between OFDM, GFDM and WCP-COQAM under equal or unequal spectral efficiency conditions for ...

GFDM is a new modulation format whose advantages compared to OFDM reportedly make it a preferable modulation format for 5G. However, the non-orthogonal nature of GFDM with matched filtering (MF) receiver for pulses with good time-frequency localization is one of its disadvantages, leading to the proposal of WCP-COQAM, employing offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM). In this paper, we pr...
