Recently, there has been much interest in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for next generation wireless wideband communication systems. OFDM is a special case of multicarrier transmission, where a single data stream is transmitted over a number of lower-rate subcarriers. One of the main reasons to use OFDM is to increase robustness against frequency-selective fading or narrowband interference. However, in the radio systems it is also important to distortion introduced by high power amplifiers (HPA's) such as solid state power amplifier (SSPA) considered in this paper. Since the signal amplitude of the OFDM system is Rayleigh-distributed, the performance of the OFDM system is significantly degraded by the nonlinearity of the HPA in the OFDM transmitter. In this paper, we propose a canonical piecewise-linear (PWL) model based digital predistorter to prevent signal distortion and spectral re-growth due to the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM signal and the nonlinearity of HPA's. Computer simulation on an OFDM system under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM modulation schemes and modulator/demodulator implemented with 1024-point FFT/IFFT, demonstrate that the proposed predistorter achieves significant performance improvement by effectively compensating for the nonlinearity introduced by the SSPA.

In this paper, we analyzed the performance of digital watermarking by using audio signal as well as logo image watermark. By utilizing the OFDM/QPSK system under AWGN channel environment, watermarked image are transmitted and detected. Experimental results showed that audio signal-based watermark embedding scheme is superior to that of logo image-based, which is able to restore a signal at SNR=3[dB].

OFDM system has a disadvantage of sensitiveness about the effect of frequency offset caused by the discord of oscillators in the transmitter and receiver. Either, the frequency offsets in mobile radio channels distort the orthogonality between sub-carriers resulting in the inter-carrier interference(ICI). In this paper, we analyze the effect of the ICI and propose a new method using SC technique. To analyze BER(Bit Error Rate) and CIR(Carrier to Interference Ratio) performance of the proposed method. the simulation program MATLAB is used. By the simulation results, SNR performance is improved by this method. In case the frequency offset is 0.3 and 0.5, SNR gains are over 0.5dB and 1dB in the BPSK modulation and 1dB and 2dB in the QPSK modulation at BER of $10^{-3}$ respectively. In addition, CIR performance is improved over 15dB. As a result, the proposed method is more effective to improve the system performance than the conventional method.

This paper describes the performance evaluation and analysis of an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system having the least Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) in a multi-path fading channel environment. Wireless Local Area Network (W-LAN) in accordance with IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b provides high-speed transmission to universities, businesses and other various places. In addition, service providers can offer a public W-LAN service on restricted areas such as a subway. The proliferation of W-LAN has led to greater W-LAN service demands, but problems are also on the rise in offering a good W-LAN service. In particular, urban areas with high radio wave interference and many buildings are vulnerable to deteriorated QoS including disconnected data and errors. For example, when high-speed data is transmitted in such areas, the relatively high frequency generates ISI between Access Points (AP) and Mobile Terminals (such as a notebook computer), leading to a frequency selective fading channel environment. Consequently, it is difficult to expect a goodW-LAN service. The simulation proves that the OFDM system enables W-LAN to implement QoS in high-speed data transmission in a multi-path fading channel environment. The enhanced OFDM performance with 52 sub-carriers is verified via data modulation methods such as BPSK, QPSK and 16QAM based on IEEE 802.11a and punched convolutional codes with code rate of 1/2 and 3/4 and constraint length of 7. Especially, the simulation finds that the OFDM system has better performance and there is no data disconnection even in a mobile environment by applying a single tap equalizer and a decision feedback equalizer to a mobile channel environment with heavy fading influence. Given the above result, the OFDM system is an ideal solution to guarantee QoS of the W-LAN service in a high-speed mobile environment.

In this paper, performance of autoencoder based OFDM communication systems is compared with IEEE 802.11a Wireless Lan System (Wi-Fi). The proposed autoencoder based OFDM system is composed of the following steps. First, one sub-carrier's transmitter - channel - receiver system is created by autoencoder. Then learning process of the one sub-carrier autoencoder generates constellation map. Secondly, using the plural sub-carrier autoencoder systems, parallel bundle is configured with inserting IFFT and FFT before and after the channel to configure OFDM system. Finally, the receiver part of the OFDM communication system was updated by re-learning process for adapting channel condition such as multipath channel. For performance comparison, IEEE802.11a and the proposed autoencoder based OFDM system are compared. For channel estimation, Wi-Fi uses initial long preamble to measure channel condition. but Autoencoder needs re-learning process to create an equalizer which compensate a distortion caused by the transmission channel. Therefore, this autoencoder based system has basic advantage to the Wi-Fi system. For the comparison of the system, additive random noise and 2-wave and 4-wave multipaths are assumed in the transmission path with no inter-symbol interference. A simulation was performed to compare the conventional type and the autoencoder. As a result of the simulation, the autoencoder properly generated automatic constellations with QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM. In the previous simulation, the received data was relearned, thus the performance was poor, but the performance improved by making the initial value of reception a random number. A function equivalent to an equalizer for multipath channels has been realized in OFDM systems. As a future task, there is not include error correction at this time, we plan to make further improvements by incorporating error correction in the future.

이 논문에서는 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 통신 시스템에서 고려해야할 중요한 문제 중의 하나인 PAPR(peak to average power ratio) 문제를 다루었다. SLM(selected mapping) OFDM 시스템을 기반으로 구현하였고, PAPR을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 새로운 위상 가중치를 곱하는 방법을 제안하였다. 여기서는 여러 가지 방법들(PSK, QPSK, 랜덤)로 위상 가중치를 발생시켰고, 발생된 위상 가중치를 병렬 조합으로 적용하여, 최저의 PAPR을 가져오는 값을 선택했다. 실험결과에서, 단일의 위상 가중치만을 곱하여 사용할 때 보다 위상 가중치를 복합적으로 사용했을 때 큰 PAPR 감소를 보임으로서, 제안된 방법의 우수성을 보였다. 그러나 아직 해결해야할 것들 중에서, 여러가지 위상 가중치를 사용함에 따른 시스템 복잡도가 증가하는 문제점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법은 비록 복잡도의 증가라는 단점을 가지고 있지만, 성능면에서의 향상은 커다란 장점이다.
