OUTLINE • OVERVIEW ABOUT OFDM • DEFINITION AND PRINCIPLES • OFDM ADVANTAGES & DRAWBACKS • APPLICATIONS • CONCLUSIONS AND PERSPECTIVES • RESULTS
OVERVIEW ABOUT OFDM • OFDM was invented more than 40 years ago. • OFDM has been adopted for several technologies: • Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) services. • IEEE 802.11a/g, IEEE 802.16a. • Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB). • Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcast: DVD in Europe, ISDB in Japan • 4G, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.16, and IEEE 802.20.
WHY OFDM ? • High bit rate needs are clumped by the nature of communication channels. • Multi-path Propagation effects forbid increasing of transmission rates.
OFDM = Orthogonal FDM Carrier centers are put on orthogonal frequencies ORTHOGONALITY - The peak of each signal coincides with trough of other signals Subcarriers are spaced by 1/Ts OFDM DEFINITION
PRINCIPLES • BASIC IDEA : Channel bandwidth is divided into multiple subchannels to reduce ISI and frequency-selective fading. • Multicarrier transmission :Subcarriers are orthogonal each other in frequency domain.
PRINCIPLES • Time-domain spreading: • Spreading is achieved in the time-domain by repeating the same information in an OFDM symbol on two different sub-bands => Frequency Diversity. • Frequency-domain spreading: • Spreading is achieved by choosing conjugate symmetric inputs for the input to the IFFT (real output) • Exploits frequency diversity and helps reduce the transmitter complexity/power consumption.
FDM OFDM • Frequency Division Multiplexing • OFDM frequency dividing EARN IN SPECTRAL EFFICIENCY
OFDM THEORY • The baseband OFDM signals can be written as Where is the central frequency of the mth sub-channel and is the corresponding transmitted symbol. • The signals are orthogonal over [0, T ] as illustrated below:

OFDM ADVANTAGES • OFDM is spectrally efficient • IFFT/FFT operation ensures that sub-carriers do not interfere with each other. • OFDM has an inherent robustness against narrowband interference. • Narrowband interference will affect at most a couple of subchannels. • Information from the affected subchannels can be erased and recovered via the forward error correction (FEC) codes. • Equalization is very simple compared to Single-Carrier systems
OFDM ADVANTAGES • OFDM has excellent robustness in multi-path environments. • Cyclic prefix preserves orthogonality between sub- carriers. • Cyclic prefix allows the receiver to capture multi- path energy more efficiently. • Ability to comply with world-wide regulations: • Bands and tones can be dynamically turned on/off to comply with changing regulations. • Coexistence with current and future systems: • Bands and tones can be dynamically turned on/off for enhanced coexistence with the other devices.
OFDM DRAWBACKS • High sensitivity inter-channel interference, ICI • OFDM is sensitive to frequency, clock and phase offset • The OFDM time-domain signal has a relatively large peak-to-average ratio • tends to reduce the power efficiency of the RF amplifier • non-linear amplification destroys the orthogonality of the OFDM signal and introduced out-of-band radiation
Standards • Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) • Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) • Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) • Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11a • Wireless networking, device connectivity • Proposed for 802.16 standard • Connection between subscriber's transceiver station and a base transceiver station
