Provider view • “I believe that OFDM can get us to the next generation of services and availability, not so much because I just love OFDM but rather that it will increase our reachability, especially in the upstream," said WorldCom's Mapes. • “For example, a carrier could hypothetically cover a densely populated sector such as the San Francisco Bay area with 25 cells sites instead of 120.” – Telecommunications Online, feb. 2001.

Services • Internet access • Telephony • VPN • Leased Line voice (with IP Mux) • Leased Line data • Point-to-Point IP backbone connection
Multipath Multipath Multipath Multipath time frequency space
Effect of Multipath: Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) • Each bit becomes distorted by echoes • The symbols disturb each other Sent data Data and the echoes Resulting waveform
OFDM Modulation Every sub-carrier is QAM modulated
OFDM Technology - 1 • 48 orthogonal carriers,each 4, 16, 64QAM modulated • Time domain signal: IFFT • 4 carriers for clock pilots • FEC: Convolutional encoding, rates: ½, ¾ • SW Viterbi decoding • Symbol level bit interleaving
Multipath effect on OFDM • Each subcarrier is scaled, but they still do not interfere with each other Sent signal Received signal
Guard time and Multipath • The multipath corrupts the Guard Interval • The FFT (demodulation) region remains undistorted symbol GI FFT period Sent signal Received signal
OFDM-Technology - 2 • Multi-pass resistance • Training symbol to learn the channel • Send known symbol (A, Phase) signal • Learn the distortions that the channel introduces • In QAM the adaptive equalization process is very long • Inter-symbol interval • To cover the reflections of the precedent symbol
