Multistage interference cancellation for cyclic interleaved frequency division multiplexing

AbstractCyclic interleaved frequency division multiplexing (CIFDM), a variant of IFDM, has recently been proposed. While CIFDM employs cyclic interleaving at the transmitter to make multipath components resolvable at the receiver, the current approach of matched filtering followed by multipath combining does not fully exploit the diversity available. This is primarily because the correlation residues among the codes have a significant impact on multipath resolution. As a solution, we introduce a novel multipath successive interference cancellation (SIC) technique for CIFDM, which replaces the conventional matched filtering approach. We have examined the performance of this proposed CIFDM‐SIC technique and compared it with the conventional CIFDM‐matched filter bank and IFDM schemes. Our simulation results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme over the existing ones.

Comparison of DSP schemes with frequency domain equalization for passive optical networks

In recent years, digital signal processing (DSP) has been widely investigated for the applications in future next generation passive optical networks (PONs). In this paper, we compare four transmission technologies based on DSP with frequency domain equalization (FDE) for PON transmission with double-side band (DSB) intensity modulation and direct detection. These schemes include orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), single-carrier frequency domain equalization (SCFDE), discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) and interleaved frequency division multiplexing (IFDM). We analyze their computational complexity and flexibility in PON applications, and compare their transmission performance by experiments. Based on above work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a hybrid DSP-enhanced PON architecture with downstream OFDM modulation and upstream SCFDE modulation.

Frequency Spectrum Rotation in Interleaved Frequency Division Multiplexing

Interleaved Frequency Division Multiplexing (IFDM) can achieve high diversity gain as well as establishing orthogonal frequency multiplexing by using a comb-shaped frequency spectrum. In IFDM, as the number of repeat transmissions of a modulated symbol is increased, the comb-shaped frequency spectrum should be narrowed, so that the frequency diversity gain is decreased. In addition, IFDM suffers from interpath interference imposed on the transmitted signal by multipath fading channel. In this paper, a novel frequency spectrum construction is proposed. In the proposed frequency spectrum construction, the comb-shaped frequency spectrum is frequency-shifted for every modulated symbol. As a result, the frequency spectrum of the frame composed of many modulated symbols is widely spread. In addition, the inter-path interference can be suppressed because the modulated symbol is orthogonal, in the frequency domain, to the following symbol. From the computer simulation, the frequency spectrum rotation can achieve better error rate performance thanks to the increase in frequency diversity gain and suppressing inter-path interference.
