Abstract
OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) has gained a great deal of attention of late and is considered a strong candidate for many next generation wireless communication systems. However, OFDM (in its current implementation) does not demonstrate robustness to narrowband interference. In our earlier work, we showed how carrier interferometry (CI) spreading codes may be applied to spread OFDM symbols over all N subcarriers. This allows OFDM to exploit frequency diversity and improve performance (without loss in throughput). In this paper, we show that, by spreading OFDM symbols over all N subcarriers via CI spreading codes, the resulting CI/OFDM system is also capable of suppressing narrowband interference. Simulation results over AWGN and multi-path fading channels confirm CI/OFDM's robustness in the presence of narrowband interference.
