Abstract
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) expects the subcarriers to be orthogonal. However, the factors, such as residual carrier frequency, offset time variations due to Doppler shift or phase noise leads to a loss in the orthogonality between subcarriers and results in inter-carrier interference (ICI). Further developing the parallel cancellation (PC) scheme to mitigate the ICI of OFDM systems, the authors expand this OFDM symbol-based PC scheme into a space-time (ST) coded system. This simple space-time parallel cancellation (STPC) scheme is a technique that combines the useful properties of ST and PC schemes together. Computer simulations indicate that OFDM systems using the STPC scheme outperform the regular PC and ST systems in slow and fast frequency selective fading channels, specifically at a high signal-noise ratio (SNR). Furthermore, the error floor of the STPC-OFDM system is significantly lower than that of the regular ST systems without increasing computational load.
