Statistical distributions of OFDM signals on multi-path fading channel

Abstract

Bit error rate (BER) performance of the OFDM system has been widely studied on multi-path fading channel with the channel gain being modeled as various distributions. But the statistical distribution of the OFDM signal on the receiver side has neither been well studied, nor given the closeformed expression. In order to design the optimum detection criteria, especially for the hypothesis test of the OFDM symbol, the probability density function (pdf) of the received OFDM signal on the multi-path channel is presented in this paper. At first, the pdf of the frequency domain impulse response of the channel is derived through the characteristic function method. Secondly, we can show that the joint pdf of the complex channel frequency response and the complex additive white Gaussian noise leads to the pdf of the received OFDM symbol under the condition of given transmitted symbol on a given subcarrier. Lastly, the theoretical analysis is verified by the simulations, and the theoretical and simulation results agree with each other perfectly.

“…The acquired codes are adjusted to divert vacillation in versatile situations. Arikan [21] proposed a scheduling scheme of dynamic carrier aggregation (DCA) to provide higher energy efficiency in uplink communication. In Santos [12] have not considered the uplink real-time scheduling and resource allocation framework for the demand of the 3rd generation partnershipl project (3GPP) long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) networks.…”

Robust multipath channel estimation in the presence of impulsive noise

“…Moreover, according to [19], the statistical distribution of the received orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols on a certain subcarrier through a multipath channel can also be approximated by the Gaussian distribution (OFDM is a prevalent modulation mechanism for PLC systems). Thus, the joint probability density function (PDF) of p ( k ) and q ( k ) ( p ( k ) constitutes a random process , and q ( k ) constitutes a random process ) can be written as where denotes the variance and Express the rectangular form of as where is the environmental noise consisting of coloured Gaussian noise, impulsive noise and so on.…”

“…Here, we assume that the maximum delay of the multi-path fading channel is fully characterized by the cyclic prefix length. If we denote σ 2 H as the sum of the channel tap powers such that σ 2 H = Ng−1 l=0 E |h ps (l)| 2 , then the conditional probability density function for either the real part or the imaginary part of the received symbol at index r k j given that the transmitted symbol is X p (r k j ) = a + jb can be obtained by (21) where σ 2 n is the noise variance and E ab = (a 2 + b 2 ) [25].…”
