4. OFDM is the most popular one. The first OFDM
scheme was proposed by Chang in 1966. Even
though the concept of OFDM has been around for
several years, but it has not been recognized as a
great method for high speed bi-directional wireless
data communication until recent years. The first
applications of OFDM were in the military HF radio
links. Today, the OFDM technique is in many
wirelesses and wired applications, such as
broadband radio access networks (BRAN), Digital
Audio Broadcasting (DAB), Digital Video
Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) and Asymmetric
Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)

9. Series
◦ In a conventional serial data system, the
symbols are transmitted sequentially, with
the frequency spectrum of each data
symbol allowed to occupy the entire
available bandwidth.
◦ When the data rate is sufficient high,
several adjacent symbols may be
completely distorted over frequency
selective fading or multipath delay spread
channel.
10. Parallel
◦ The spectrum of an individual data
element normally occupies only a small
part of available bandwidth.
◦ Because of dividing an entire channel
bandwidth into many narrow subbands,
the frequency response over each
individual subchannel is relatively flat.
◦ A parallel data transmission system offers
possibilities for alleviating this problem
encountered with serial systems.
Resistance to frequency selective fading
11. The process of mapping the information
bits onto the signal constellation plays a
fundamental role in determining the
properties of the modulation.
An OFDM signal consists of a sum of sub-
carriers, each of which contains
1. M-ary Phase Shift Keying (PSK) or
2. Quadrature Amplitude Modulated (QAM)
signals.
12. M-ary phase shift keying
◦ Consider M-ary phase-shift keying (M-PSK) for
which the signal set is
where is the signal energy per symbol, is the
symbol duration, and is the carrier frequency.
◦ This phase of the carrier takes on one of the M
possible values, namely , where

16. Two different sources of interference can be
identified in the OFDM system.
◦ Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) - crosstalk between
signals within the same sub-channel of
consecutive FFT frames, which are separated in
time by the signaling interval T.
◦ Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) - crosstalk between
adjacent sub channels or frequency bands of the
same FFT frame.

19. o To eliminate ICI, the OFDM symbol is cyclically
extended in the guard interval.
o This ensures that delayed replicas of the OFDM
symbol always have an integer number of cycles
within the FFT interval, as long as the delay is smaller
than the guard interval.

subcarrier 1 and vice versa.

25. Various reduction techniques of peak to average
power reduction (PAPR) of ofdm.
o Selective mapping
o Partial transmit sequence
o Companding
31. o Companding is another popular PAPR reduction
scheme. Companding is a composite word formed by
combining compressing and expanding. In this
scheme, at the transmitter a signal with high dynamic
range is applied to a compander and at the receiver a
decompanding function (the inverse of companding
function) is used to recover the original signal
o It increases the average power while peak remains the
same therefore PAPR reduced .
32. function [y] = compressor(x,mu,sigma)
y = (1/(sigma*sqrt(2*pi)))*exp(-((x-mu).^2)./(2*sigma^2));
end
function [y] = decompressor(x,mu,sigma)
y = sqrt(-1*(2*sigma^2)*(log(sigma*sqrt(2*pi).*x))) + mu;
end
34. Gaussian probability distribution is perhaps the
most used distribution in all of science. It is
also called “bell shaped curve” or normal
distribution. Unlike the binomial and Poisson
distribution, the Gaussian is a continuous
distribution.
35. The important thing to note about a normal
distribution is the curve is concentrated in the
center and decreases on either side
A bell curve graph depends on two factors, the
mean and the standard deviation
36. C.L.T. tells us that under a wide range of
circumstances the probability distribution that
describes the sum of random variables tends
towards a Gaussian distribution as the number of
terms in the sum tends to infinite.
37. Sum of 12 uniform random numbers minus 6 is
distributed as if it came from a Gaussian pdf with m
= 0 and s = 1
