SUMMARYWe propose a novel intercarrier interference (ICI) self-cancellation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The symmetric scheme is the best among all ICI self-cancellation scheme in the literature. Its coefficient pair is (1, −1), and the loading subcarriers are the k th and N −k −1 th subcarriers, where N is the number of subcarriers. We propose to modify the symmetric scheme and change the coefficient pair from (1, −1) to (1, − ) where is between 0 and 1. The proposed modified symmetric scheme has better carrier-to-interference-ratio (CIR) than all previous ICI self-cancellation schemes by at least 1.7 dB when the normalized frequency offset is 0.5.
