In this paper, an efficient H/W implementation technique for guard interval in OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems is proposed and applied to ASIC chip design of an OFDM-based 25 Mbps wireless ATM modem. In OFDM systems, a cyclic prefix, longer than the largest multipath delay spread, is usually inserted to maintain the orthogonality of subchannels, by making the linear convolution of the channel ok like circular convolution inherent to the discreate Fourier domain, as well as to prevent the ISI(Intersymbol Interference) within the OFDM block. However, the OFDM system using the cyclic prefix requires an additional H/W in transmitter in order to store the original samples and to append the cyclic prefix to the beginning of each block. In this paper, a new approach using a cyclic prefix, even with a significantly lower H/W complexity. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated by applying it to ASIC chip design of an OFDM-based 25 Mbps wireless ATM modem.

A spectrally encapsulated (SE) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) precoding scheme for wireless short packet transmission, which can suppress the out-of-band emission (OoBE) while maintaining the advantage of the cyclic prefix (CP)-OFDM, is proposed. The SE-OFDM symbol consists of a prefix, an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) symbol, and a suffix generated by the head, center, and tail matrices, respectively. The prefix and suffix play the roles of a guard interval and suppress the OoBE, and the IFFT symbol has the same size as the discrete Fourier transform symbol in the CP-OFDM symbol and serves as an information field. Specifically, as the center matrix generating the IFFT symbol is orthogonal, data and pilot symbols can be allocated to any subcarrier without distinction. Even if the proposed precoder is required to generate OFDM symbols with spectral efficiency in the transmitter, a corresponding decoder is not required in the receiver. The proposed scheme is compared with CP-OFDM in terms of spectrum, OoBE, and bit-error rate.

본 논문에서는 비동기식 Zipper 방식의 VDSL(Very High Blt-rate Digital Subscriber Line) 시스템에서 cyclic extension 을 최소화 하는 기법을 제안하고, 전형적인 전화채널 환경 하에서 제안된 방식의 성능을 분석한다. Zipper 방식에서는 각 DMT(discrete-multitone) 블록에cyclic prefix(CP) 와 cyclic suffix(CS)가 추가로 사용되는데, 여기서 CP 는 심볼간 간섭과 부채널간 간섭을 방지하기 위하여 삽입되며, CS는 upstream 과 downstream 부반송파간의 직교성을 유지하기 위하여 추가되어 near-end crosstalk (NEXT)을 방지한다. 이 방식이 동기식 Zipper 방식으로 CS에 의해 NEXT를 제거하기 위해서는 한 binder 내의 모든 송신단의 동기를 맞추어야 한다. 그러나 비동기식 Zipper 방식은 다른 송신단과의 동기가 맞지 않아 CS가 NEXT에 아무런 영향을 주지 못한다 본 논문에서는 CS를 사용하지 않는 비동기식 Zipper 방식의 VDSL 시스템을 제안한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 방식이 전형적인 채널환경 하에서 기존 Zipper 방식의 VDSL 시스템과 비교하여 비슷한 전송능력을 갖게 됨을 보인다.

In this paper we propose an efficient implementation technique for cyclic extension in VDSL(Very High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) systems using Zipper duplexing and analyze its performances under typical telephone channel environments. In Zipper-based VDSL systems each DTM(discrete-multitone) block is appended by both cyclic prefix(CP) and cyclic suffix(CS). The CP is inserte to prevent both intersymbol interference (ISI) and iterchannel interference (ICI) while the CS is appended to ensure orthogonality between the upstream and downstream carriers thus preventing near-end crosstalk (NEXT). However in order to implement the CP in the transmitter side of the VDSL system an additional hardware is required to append the latter part of each DMT symbol to the beginning of the DMT symbol. In this paper we propose a VDSL system with Zipper duplexing using only CS to reduce hardware complexity (memory and processing delay) required for implementation of CP. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed approach has the same capacity under typical channel environments as the previous Zipper-based VDSL system using both CP and CS. even with a significantly lower hardware complexity.

In this paper, a resource management technique for digital duplexing (DD) systems using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) is proposed. The proposed technique can reduce the dynamic range of the signal received at the subscriber station (SS) and minimize the effects of inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI) due to the time difference of arrival (TDoA) without using a cyclic suffix. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed technique can reduce the number of bits for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and increase the signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) significantly.

In this paper, we propose a grouping technique for the SDD(Synchronous Digital Duplexing) based on OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). The SDD has advantages of increasing data efficiency and flexibility of resource since SDD can transmit uplink signals and downlink signals simultaneously by using mutual time information and mutual channel information, obtained during mutual ranging process. However, the SDD has a disadvantage of requiring additional CS to maintain orthogonality of OFDMA symbols when the sum of mutual time difference and mutual channel length between AP(access point) and SS(subscriber station) or among SSs are larger than CP length. In order to minimize the length of CS for the case of requiring additional CS in SDD, we proposes a grouping technique which controls transmit timing and receive timing of AP and SS in a cell by classifying them into groups. Performances of the proposed grouping technique are evaluated by computer simulation.
