OFDM is a digital modulation technique that splits a data stream into several narrowband channels at different frequencies. This reduces interference and crosstalk compared to traditional single-carrier modulation. Fading effects are also reduced since the loss of a subset of bits can be recovered with coding. Windowing and cyclic prefixes are used to reduce interference between channels and intersymbol interference. The cyclic prefix provides a guard interval and allows transforming the linear convolution of the channel to circular convolution in the frequency domain, simplifying processing. While the cyclic prefix reduces data capacity, it provides robustness against multipath effects.
In this chapter we examine the capacity of a single-user wireless channel where transmitter and/or receiver have a single antenna. We will discuss capacity for channels that are both time invariant and time varying. We first look at the well-known formula for capacity of a time-invariant additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and then consider capacity of time-varying flat fading channels. We will first consider flat fading channel capacity where only the fading distribution is known at the transmitter and receiver. We will also treat capacity of frequency-selective fading channels. For time -invariant frequency-selective channels the capacity is known and is achieved with an optimal power allocation that water-fills over frequency instead of time. We will consider only discrete-time systems in this chapter.
In communication system, intersymbol interference (ISI) is a form of distortion of a signal in which one symbol interferes with subsequent symbols. This is an unwanted phenomenon as the previous symbols have similar effect as noise, thus making the communication less reliable.
In communication system, the Nyquist ISI criterion describes the conditions which when satisfied by a communication channel (including responses of transmit and receive filters), result in no intersymbol interference(ISI). It provides a method for constructing band-limited functions to overcome the effects of intersymbol interference.

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)
[1] is a method of encoding digital data on multiple carrier
frequencies. OFDM[1] has developed into a popular scheme
for wideband digital communication, whether wireless or
over copper wires, used in applications such as digital television
and audio broadcasting, DSL Internet access, wireless networks,
powerline networks, and 4G mobile communications. In the
Several wireless standards such as IEEE 802.11a[2] and
HiperLAN2[3].The orthogonality of the subcarriers is no longer
maintained which results in ICI (Inter carrier Interference)[4]
.ICI reduction techniques achieve a better SNR and BER in
OFDM at zero phase noise variance . This technique will use a
large number of closely spaced orthogonal subcarriers to avoid
phase noise. It provides high data rates with sufficient robustness
to radio channel damages. A major problem in OFDM is carrier
frequency offset error between the transmitted and received
signals. Due to this the orthogonality of the subcarriers is no
longer maintained which results in ICI (Inter carrier
Interference). In this paper, we used the ICI self-cancellation
technique and reduced the ICI and improved the BER and SNR
we are also calculate the SNR=15db and 20db at different phase
noise variance.

Blind Channel Shortening for MIMO-OFDM System Using Zero Padding and Eigen De...ijsrd.com
This paper deals with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadband wireless communication systems, employing orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). In order to exploit the benefits of OFDM in highly frequency-selective channels, without any significant increase in receiver complexity, a channel shortening prefilter is inserted at the receiver. The main aim of inserting channel shorteners is to shorten the channel so that the main energy of the composite channel is concentrated within a duration smaller than the guard interval inserted while transmission. Thus by including channel shortening equalizers at the receiver the inter symbol interference or the inter block interference can be suppressed. The new approach proposed in this thesis is zero padding approach with Eigen decomposition approach. The advantages of the proposed approaches include immunity to delay spread, resistance to frequency selective fading and simple equalization. This shortening design is a blind one, i.e., a priori knowledge of the MIMO channel impulse response to be shortened is not required, and can be carried out in closed-form.

2. OFDM
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a method
of digital signal modulation in which a single data stream is split across
several separate narrowband channels at different frequencies to reduce
interference and crosstalk.
The original data stream bits -- that in a conventional single-channel
modulation scheme would be sent serially (one after the other) -- are
transmitted in parallel (several at once on separate channels) .
Although the sidebands from each carrier overlap, they can still be
received without the interference that might be expected because they are
orthogonal to each another. This is achieved by having the carrier spacing
equal to the reciprocal of the symbol period.
Each subcarrier is modulated with a conventional modulation scheme
(such as QAM or PSK) at a low symbol rate. This maintains total data
rates similar to conventional single-carrier modulation schemes in the
same bandwidth.
3. In OFDM, the subcarrier frequencies are chosen so that the subcarriers
are orthogonal to each other, meaning that cross-talk between the sub-channels
is eliminated and inter-carrier guard bands are not required. This greatly
simplifies the design of both the transmitter and the receiver , unlike
conventional FDM, a separate filter for each sub-channel is not required
The orthogonality also allows high spectral efficiency, with a total symbol rate
near the Nyquist rate for the equivalent baseband signal (i.e. near half the
Nyquist rate for the double-side band physical passband signal). Almost the
whole available frequency band can be used.
4. FADING
The path from the transmitter to the
receiver either has reflections or
obstructions, we can get fading
effects. In this case, the signal reaches
the receiver from many different
routes, each a copy of the original.
Each of these rays has a slightly
different delay and slightly different
gain. The time delays result in phase
shifts which added to main signal
component causes the signal to be
degraded
A Fading channel has frequencies that do not allow anything to pass. So the data is lost
sporadically.
5. OFDM signal offers an advantage in a channel that has a frequency selective fading
response.
Instead Ofthewholesymbol beingknockedout,welosejustasmall subset ofthe (l/N)
bits.With proper coding, this can be recovered.
6. WINDOWING
Windowing is used to reduce the out of band spectrum
Windowing is a duel technique, multiplying an OFDM signal by an window
means the spectrum is going to be a convolution of the spectrum of the
window function with asset impulse functions at the subcarriers
frequencies.
When filtering is applied ,a convolution is done in the time domain and the
OFDM spectrum is multiplied by the frequency response of the filter
Windowing is applied in receiver to reduce ICI.
Mostly Raised Cosine Windowing is used in applications.
7. CYCLIC PREFIX/POSTFIX
The cyclic prefix used in Frequency Division Multiplexing schemes
including OFDM to primarily act as a guard band between successive
symbols to overcome intersymbol interference, ISI.This can be an issue in
some circumstances even with the much lower data rates that are
transmitted in the multicarrier OFDM signal.
The cyclic prefix performs two main functions:
The cyclic prefix provides a guard interval to eliminate intersymbol
interference from the previous symbol.
It repeats the end of the symbol so the linear convolution of a frequency-
selective multipath channel can be modeled as circular convolution, which
in turn may transform to the frequency domain via a discrete Fourier
transform. This approach accommodates simple frequency domain
processing, such as channel estimation and equalization.
8. The cyclic prefix is created so that each OFDM symbol is preceded by a copy
of the end part of that same symbol.
The use of a cyclic prefix is standard within OFDM and it enables the
performance to be maintained even under conditions when levels of
reflections and multipath propagation are high.
9. The CP adds redundancy through repetition of the signal rather than by adding
any new information. When the CP is added , it's guarantees that the symbol will
be undistorted for at least its nominal symbol in the presence of multipath and this
allows the receiver to avoid the frequency domain ICI while at the same time
avoiding all time domain ISI due to multipath.
By adding the CP to our original signal and transmitting through the same
channel, we can obtain the desired circular convolution which makes it easier to
recover the signal after the FFT at the receiver.
10. Edge effects of the convolution lead to the loss of orthogonality. Adding a CP
preserves the orthogonality.
Windowing of the entire OFDM signal is very much an implementation
issue and is actually, in practice, done for LTE already today in order to
ensure that the transmitted OFDM signal fulfills the out-of-band-emissions
requirements.
11. ADVANTAGES
Provides robustness : The addition of the cyclic prefix adds robustness to the
OFDM signal. The data that is retransmitted can be used if required.
Reduces inter-symbol interference: The guard interval introduced by the
cyclic prefix enables the effects of inter-symbol interference to be reduced.
12. DISADVANTAGES
Reduces data capacity: As the cyclic prefix re-transmits data that is
already being transmitted, it takes up system capacity and reduces the overall
data rate.
The OFDM signal has a noise like amplitude with a very large dynamic
range, therefore it requires RF power amplifiers with a high peak to average
power ratio.
