Abstract

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is robust against multi-path interference due to using a lot of low symbol rate sub-carriers. In order to mitigate the degradation due to multi-path interference, guard time interval (GI) is inserted into each OFDM symbol. However, redundant allocation to GI leads to loss of effective transmission power. We propose the Block-OFDM which can reduce the GI overhead ratio per frame compared with conventional OFDM. In Block-OFDM system frequency domain equalization (FDE) is carried out in order to remove multi-path interference. We evaluated Block-OFDM performance in a frequency selective fading channel and compared with that of conventional OFDM.
