OFDM modulation techniques for domestic power line communicationWicomb, Lindsay Paul January 2005 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Electrical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2005 / With the growth of the personal computer industry, a number of households now contain two
or more personal computers. The need to share resources such as printers, scanners and other PC
peripherals has become evident. Communication between personal computers and other smart devices
in the home is also required. This brings the emergence of home networking together with
home automation. Home networking is the collection of elements to enable the connection and integration
of multiple computing, control and communication devices. There are various options at
this stage for home networking. One of the broadband options is indoor power line communication.
The aim of the project was to evaluate a communication system capable of performing efficiently
in South African Home Power line environment. In designing a communication system
capable of performing in the harsh conditions which are presented in the home environment (noise,
attenuation, phase distortion, etc.), a mathematical model that is representative of a typical suburban
South African home power line is required. To aid the modeling process, an experimental
network was constructed so measurements could be taken in a controlled environment. In conjunction
with simulation, the model of the home power line network has aided the design of the
data communication system.
The project has involved:
• Determining optimal specifications for the communication system.
• Development of a home power line model representative of a typical South African suburban
home environment.
• Construction and measurement of an experimental power grid
• Development of methods, algorithms and programs for the design of an OFDM PLC modem
(in software) to optimal specifications.
• Simulation development in MA1LAB of the OFDM Modem.
• Comparison of different OFDM sub-modulation schemes for enhancing the communication
system performance,
In conclusion, the simulation model of the PLC modem correlates well with typical practical
systems. Optimising throughput of the communication system and hardware development of the
modem will form the basis for further research.

Algoritmos evolutivos aplicados na alocação de recursos em Sistemas OFDMABulgaroni, Caio Rodrigo Guimarães January 2017 (has links)
Orientador: Prof. Dr. Ivan Roberto Santana Casella / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica, 2017. / A busca por transmissoes de dados em altas taxas é um fator indispensavel para
a evolução dos sistemas de comunicação Wireless. Dessa forma, se faz necessario
o estudo e desenvolvimento de novos metodos que visam aprimorar o desempenho
desses sistemas. Uma tecnica bastante utilizada para atingir este objetivo é a OFDM
(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), onde é possivel aumentar a robustez do
sistema a canais com desvanecimento seletivo em frequencia. Outra tecnica bastante
interessante e difundida para este fim é a alocaação de recursos, que possibilita a
otimização do uso dos recursos do sistema de forma a maximizar a taxa de transmissão
(ou outro parametro do sistema de interesse). Neste sentido, este trabalho visa estudar
o problema de alocação de recursos em sistemas Wireless e analisar algumas estrategias
especificas para sistemas OFDM com multiplos usuarios como os sistemas OFDMA
(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) empregados no downlink das redes
LTE (Long Term Evolution). Os estudos apresentados irão focar nos metodos de
alocaçao de subportadoras e potencia propostos por Shen e, posteriormente, por
Wong e nos metodos baseados em Algoritmos Geneticos (GA). / The search for high-speed data transmissions is an indispensable factor for the
evolution of Wireless communication systems. Thus, it is necessary to study and
develop new methods that aim to improve the performance of these systems. A
technique widely used to achieve this goal is OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing), where it is possible to increase the robustness of the system to channels
with frequency selective fading. Another very interesting and widespread technique
for this purpose is the allocation of resources, which makes it possible to optimize
the use of system resources in order to maximize the transmission rate (or other
parameter of the system of interest). In this sense, this work aims to study the problem
of resource allocation in Wireless systems and to analyze some specic strategies
for multi-user OFDM systems such as the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple
Access (OFDMA) systems used in the downlink of LTE (Long Term Evolution)
networks. The studies presented will focus on the methods of subcarrier allocation
and power proposed by Shen and later by Wong and in the methods based on genetic

Μελέτη και προσομοίωση υποβέλτιστων τεχνικών διαχείρισης ραδιοπόρων, για την κατερχόμενη ζεύξη, σε MIMO-SISO ασύρματα συστήματα πολλών χρηστών με χρήση της OFDMA τεχνικής πολλαπλής πρόσβασηςΚοντογιάννη, Χρυσούλα 13 September 2011 (has links)
Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εξετάζεται η εκμετάλλευση της διαφορετικότητας πολλών χρηστών και της προσαρμοστικής διαμόρφωσης στα OFDMA συστήματα. Οι αλγόριθμοι που εκμεταλλεύονται αυτά τα κέρδη δεν προσδιορίζονται από το πρότυπο WiMAX, και έτσι όλοι οι κατασκευαστές WiMAX να είναι ελεύθεροι να αναπτύξουν τις δικές τους καινοτόμες διαδικασίες. Η ιδέα είναι η ανάπτυξη αλγορίθμων για την κατανομή των υποφορέων στους χρήστες, για τον προσδιορισμό των ποσοτήτων ισχύος σε αυτούς. Η μελέτη εστιάζεται στην κάτω ζεύξη (downlink) του συστήματος OFDMA, δηλαδή στη μετάδοση δεδομένων από το σταθμό βάσης της κυψέλης στους χρήστες – δέκτες.
Οι διαθέσιμοι πόροι του συστήματος είναι οι ορθογώνιοι υποφορείς και η συνολική διαθέσιμη ισχύς στο σταθμό βάσης. Οι χρήστες κάνουν εκτίμηση και ανατροφοδότηση της πληροφορίας κατάστασης του καναλιού (CSI-channel state information) σε έναν κεντρικό σταθμό βάσης, όπου υποφορείς και κατανομή ισχύος προσδιορίζονται σύμφωνα με CSI των χρηστών και τη διαδικασία κατανομής των διαθέσιμων πόρων. Μόλις οι υποφορείς για κάθε χρήστη καθοριστούν, ο σταθμός βάσης πρέπει να ενημερώνει τον κάθε χρήστη για το ποιοι υποφορείς έχουν ανατεθεί στον καθένα. Συνήθως, η κατανομή των πόρων πρέπει να γίνεται σε χρονικά διαστήματα της τάξης του χρόνου συνοχής, αν και μπορεί να γίνει πιο συχνά, αν υπάρχουν πολλοί χρήστες που ανταγωνίζονται για τους πόρους που είναι διαθέσιμοι.
Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εξετάζονται διαφορετικά σενάρια κατανομής των πόρων που περιλαμβάνουν αλγορίθμους για την ανάθεση των υποφορέων και το διαμοιρασμό των κατάλληλων ποσοτήτων ισχύος στους υποφορείς. Ανάλογα με το στόχο και τις ανάγκες των χρηστών του συστήματος, καθώς και με το ποσό της διαθέσιμης πληροφορίας καναλιού στο σταθμό βάσης, χρησιμοποιούνται διαφορετικοί αλγόριθμοι. Η κατανομή των διαθέσιμων πόρων συνήθως διατυπώνεται ως πρόβλημα βελτιστοποίησης με περιορισμούς, είτε (1) ελαχιστοποίηση της συνολικής εκπεμπόμενης ισχύoς με περιορισμό στο ρυθμό μετάδοσης δεδομένων στο χρήστη είτε (2) μεγιστοποίηση του συνολικού ρυθμού μετάδοσης δεδομένων με περιορισμό στην συνολική εκπεμπόμενη ισχύ. Ο αλγόριθμος με περιορισμό αναλογίας των ρυθμών μετάδοσης (Proportional Rate Constraints algorithm - PRC) έχει ως στόχο τη μεγιστοποίηση της συνολικής διεκπεραίωσης με τον περιορισμό ότι ο ρυθμός μετάδοσης δεδομένων σε κάθε χρήστη είναι ανάλογος με ένα σύνολο από προκαθορισμένες παραμέτρους του συστήματος. Ενώ ο στόχος του αλγόριθμου μέγιστου ολικού ρυθμού μετάδοσης (MSR- maximum sum rate algorithm), είναι η μεγιστοποίηση του συνόλου των ρυθμών μετάδοσης όλων των χρηστών, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη έναν περιορισμό της συνολικής εκπεμπόμενης ισχύoς. / In this diploma thesis, multiuser diversity and adaptive modulation in OFDMA systems is considered. Algorithms that take advantage of these gains are not specified by the WiMAX standard, and all WiMAX developer are free to develop their own innovative procedures. The idea is to develop algorithms for determining which users to schedule, how to allocate subcarriers to them, and how to determine the appropriate power levels for each user on each subcarrier. The downlink of a single-cell system is considered in the downlink transmission.
The available resources to be distributed among the users of the OFDMA system comprise the subcarriers over which the signals of the users are transmitted and the available power that is allocated among subcarriers. Users estimate and feedback the channel state information (CSI) to a centralized base station, where subcarrier and power allocation are determined according to users’ CSI and the resource-allocation procedure. Once the subcarriers for each user have been determined, the base station must inform each user which subcarriers have been allocated to it. Typically, the resource allocation must be performed on the order of the channel coherence time, although it may be performed more frequently if a lot of users are competing for resources.
In this diploma thesis, different resource allocation strategies for the downlink of an OFDMA system are compared. Each algorithm has a different objective. The resource allocation is usually formulated as a constrained optimization problem, to either (1) minimize the total transmit power with a constraint on the user data rate or (2) maximize the total data rate with a constraint on total transmit power. The proportional rate constraints (PRC) algorithm is to maximize the sum throughput, with the additional constraint that each user’s data rate is proportional to a set of predetermined system parameters. While the objective of the maximum sum rate (MSR) algorithm, is to maximize the sum rate of all users, given a total transmit power constraint.

Synchronisation en fréquence pour l'allocation de porteuses des systèmes OFDMA en liaison montante / Synchronozation en frequence pour l'allocation de porteuses des systemes ofdma en liaison montanteAziz, Babar 15 December 2011 (has links)
La mise en œuvre de systèmes basés OFDMA nécessite une synchronisation de la fréquence très fine en raison de l'extrême sensibilité de l'OFDMA aux décalages en fréquence porteuse (CFO). La synchronisation en fréquence devient plus difficile dans les systèmes OFDMA en liaison montante. Nos objectifs comprennent l'étude et l'analyse des problèmes résultant de décalages de fréquence et la proposition de solutions pour lutter contre ces problèmes. Nous examinons d'abord les interférences résultant de décalages de fréquence porteuse présents dans l'oscillateur du terminal utilisateur. Nous démontrons que l'on doit prendre en compte le préfixe cyclique tout en analysant les interférences résultant du CFO. Ensuite, nous montrons qu'il existe une contradiction entre la diversité de fréquence de canal et la robustesse contre le CFO. Nous proposons un compromis sous la forme d'une taille de bloc de seuil, afin de permettre un bon compromis entre la diversité des canaux et de robustesse pour les CFO pour le cas où aucune connaissances du canal n'est disponible. Quand le canal est connu, nous proposons une allocation optimale par bloc grâce à laquelle la robustesse aux CFO et à la diversité de fréquence de canal peut être réalisée en utilisant une petite taille de bloc petit pour des CFO de petite valeur. Nous proposons également une valeur CFO critique, en dessous de laquelle l'allocation optimal par bloc est très performant.Ensuite, nous proposons des solutions pour deux problèmes importants rencontrés dans un système OFDMA en liaison montante.Premièrement, nous proposons une méthode efficace pour l'estimation conjointe des réponses impulsionnelles des canaux et fréquences porteuses basée sur l'approximation polynomiale.Notre méthode d'estimation conjointe est plus simple que les méthodes existantes, sans aucune dégradation de performance. Ensuite, nous proposons une méthode de compensation de CFO basée sur l'annulation des interférences successives (SIC). La méthode d'annulation proposée réduit la complexité de mise en oeuvre quand le nombre de porteuses est important. / One of the most prominent issues in the design and implementation of OFDMA based systems is the need for a very fine frequency synchronization due to the fact that OFDMA, like OFDM, is extremely sensitive to carrier frequency offsets (CFO). The task of frequency synchronization becomes more challenging in the uplink OFDMA-based systems where one OFDMA symbol is generated by the contribution of many different users. Our goals include the study and analysis of problems resulting from frequency mismatches provide solution to combat these problems. We first look at the interference resulting from CFOs, resulting from user terminal oscillator mismatch. We demonstrate that one must take into account the cyclic prefix while analyzing interference resulting from CFO. A new analytical expression of the ICI that takes into account the effect of CFO on the cyclic prefix is proposed. Then we focus our attention on analysis of the trade-off between channel frequency diversity and robustness against CFO and show that there exists a contradiction between the two. We propose a trade-off in the form of a Threshold blocksize, to allow a good compromise between the channel diversity and robustness for CFO for the case when no CSI is available. For system where CSI is available, we propose an optimal block carrier allocation scheme through which both robustness to CFO and channel frequency diversity can be achieved with small blocksize for small CFO. We also propose a Critical CFO value, above which the performance of the optimal block carrier allocation loses interest.Next we propose solutions for two important issues encountered in an uplink OFDMA system. First, we propose an efficient method for joint estimation of channel impulse responses and carrier frequency at the receiver based on polynomial approximation. Our proposed joint estimation method is simpler than the existing methods without any performance degradation. Next we propose a CFO compensation method based on successive interference cancellation. The proposed cancellation method reduces the implementation complexity faced in case of large DFT matrices.

CODED OFDM FOR AERONAUTICAL TELEMETRYRice, Michael, Welling, Kenneth 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Three Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) mapped COFDM systems demonstrating a continuum of
complexity levels are simulated over an evolving three ray model of the multipath fading channel with
parameters interpolated from actual channel sounding experiments. The first COFDM system uses
coherent QPSK and convolutional coding with interleaving in frequency, channel equalization and soft
decision decoding; the second uses convolutional coding with interleaving in frequency, Differential
Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) and soft decision decoding; the third system uses a quaternary BCH code
with DPSK mapping and Error and Erasure Decoding (EED). All three systems are shown to be able to
provide reliable data communication during frequency selective fade events. Simulations demonstrate
QPSK mapped COFDM with reasonable complexity performs well in a multipath frequency selective
fading environment under parameters typically encountered in aeronautical telemetry.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) implementation as part of a software devined radio (SDR) environmentSonntag, Christoph 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ODFM) has gained considerable attention the past couple of years. In our modern world the need for faster data transmission is never-ending. OFDM modulation provides us with a way of more densely packing modulated carriers in the frequency domain than other existing Frequency Multiplexing schemes, thus achieving higher data rates through communications channels.
Software Defined Radio (SDR) creates a very good entry point for designing any communications system. SDR is an architecture that aims to minimise hardware components in electronic communications circuits by doing all possible processing in the software domain. Such systems have many advantages over existing hardware implementations and can be executed on various platforms and embedded systems, given that the appropriate analogue front ends are attached to the system.

Interference mitigation and interference avoidance for cellular OFDMA-TDD networksFoutekova, Ellina P. January 2009 (has links)
In recent years, cellular systems based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access – time division duplex (OFDMA-TDD) have gained considerable popularity. Two of the major reasons for this are, on the one hand, that OFDMA enables the receiver to effectively cope with multipath propagation while keeping the complexity low. On the other hand, TDD offers efficient support for cell-specific uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) asymmetry demands by allowing each cell to independently set its UL/DL switching point (SP). However, cell-independent SP gives rise to crossed slots. In particular, crossed slots arise when neighbouring cells use the same slot in opposing link directions, resulting in base station (BS)-to-BS interference and mobile station (MS)-to-MS interference. BS-to-BS interference, in particular, can be quite detrimental due to the exposed location of BSs, which leads to high probability of line-of-sight (LOS) conditions. The aim of this thesis is to address the BS-to-BS interference problem in OFDMA-TDDcellular networks. A simulation-based approach is used to demonstrate the severity of BS-to-BS interference and a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) equation for OFDMA is formulated to aid system performance analysis. The detrimental effects of crossed slot interference in OFDMA-TDD cellular networks are highlighted by comparing methods specifically targeting the crossed slots interference problem. In particular, the interference avoidance method fixed slot allocation (FSA) is compared against state of the art interference mitigation approaches, viz: random time slot opposing (RTSO) and zone division (ZD). The comparison is done based on Monte Carlo simulations and the main comparison metric is spectral efficiency calculated using the SINR equation formulated in this thesis. The simulation results demonstrate that when LOS conditions among BSs are present, both RTSO and ZD perform worse than FSA for all considered performance metrics. It is concluded from the results that current interference mitigation techniques do not offer an effective solution to the BS-to-BS interference problem. Hence, new interference avoidance methods, which unlike FSA, do not sacrifice the advantages of TDD are open research issues addressed in this thesis. The major contribution of this thesis is a novel cooperative resource balancing technique that offers a solution to the crossed slot problem. The novel concept, termed asymmetry balancing, is targeted towards next-generation cellular systems, envisaged to have ad hoc and multi-hop capabilities. Asymmetry balancing completely avoids crossed slots by keeping the TDD SPs synchronised among BSs. At the same time, the advantages of TDD are retained, which is enabled by introducing cooperation among the entities in the network. If a cell faces resource shortage in one link direction, while having free resources in the opposite link direction, the free resources can be used to support the overloaded link direction. In particular, traffic can be offloaded to near-by mobile stations at neighbouring cells that have available resources. To model the gains attained with asymmetry balancing, a mathematical framework is developed which is verified by Monte Carlo simulations. In addition, asymmetry balancing is compared against both ZD and FSA based on simulations and the results demonstrate the superior performance of asymmetry balancing. It can be concluded that the novel interference avoidance approach is a very promising candidate to.

Models and optimisation methods for interference coordination in self-organising cellular networksLopez-Perez, David January 2011 (has links)
We are at that moment of network evolution when we have realised that our telecommunication systems should mimic features of human kind, e.g., the ability to understand the medium and take advantage of its changes. Looking towards the future, the mobile industry envisions the use of fully automatised cells able to self-organise all their parameters and procedures. A fully self-organised network is the one that is able to avoid human involvement and react to the fluctuations of network, traffic and channel through the automatic/autonomous nature of its functioning. Nowadays, the mobile community is far from this fully self-organised kind of network, but they are taken the first steps to achieve this target in the near future. This thesis hopes to contribute to the automatisation of cellular networks, providing models and tools to understand the behaviour of these networks, and algorithms and optimisation approaches to enhance their performance. This work focuses on the next generation of cellular networks, in more detail, in the DownLink (DL) of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) based networks. Within this type of cellular system, attention is paid to interference mitigation in self-organising macrocell scenarios and femtocell deployments. Moreover, this thesis investigates the interference issues that arise when these two cell types are jointly deployed, complementing each other in what is currently known as a two-tier network. This thesis also provides new practical approaches to the inter-cell interference problem in both macro cell and femtocell OFDMA systems as well as in two-tier networks by means of the design of a novel framework and the use of mathematical optimisation. Special attention is paid to the formulation of optimisation problems and the development of well-performing solving methods (accurate and fast).
