Performance Analysis of OFDM Systems With

This document analyzes the performance of OFDM systems with adaptive subcarrier bandwidth. It proposes dynamically adjusting subcarrier bandwidth along with adaptive bit loading to mitigate intercarrier interference under conditions with carrier frequency offsets and Doppler spreads. An algorithm is presented to maximize throughput while meeting a bit error rate requirement by selecting the optimal subcarrier bandwidth and bit loading per subcarrier based on estimated signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio values. Simulation results show that the adaptive subcarrier bandwidth approach provides higher throughput than fixed bandwidth systems in environments with time-varying channel conditions.

Introduction
It is proposed in this work to use dynamically adaptive
sub carrier bandwidth (ASB) along with adaptive bit
loading to mitigate ICI in such conditions.
ICI is proportional to the received signal strength and to
the square of the residual carrier offset plus Doppler
spread while it is inversely proportional to the sub carrier
bandwidth.

System Description
ASB can be implemented in time division multiplexing
(TDM) system framework.
The number of sub carriers in different time slots may
be changed to generate different sub carrier
bandwidths.

The guard interval duration (GI) is fixed.


The power per sub carrier is fixed and equally distributed
on all data sub carrier.
The rate is varied on each sub carrier by means of
adaptive modulation.

Analytical Model

th
The time domain signal of the s transmitted OFDM symbol can be
expressed as

After passing through the channel, the signal can be represented as

With perfect timing synchronization, but residual carrier frequency


offset fc (Hz), the received OFDM symbol is

The signal portion without the noise part is

we can represent h( )e

j 2f d

as h( ) . Therefore,

The received signal can be computed as

fc + fd can be termed as effective carrier offset and represented


as f. The relative offset, i.e. the ratio of the effective offset to the
sub carrier spacing can be defined as
, where

Adaptive Sub Carrier Bandwidth


Algorithm
The algorithm to dynamically select the appropriate sub
carrier bandwidth and bit load per sub carrier to
maximize the throughput while satisfying a required BER
is presented here.
The sub carrier bandwidth can be chosen as

The estimated throughput Thpt(

) in (9) can be written

The bit load estimate per sub carrier used in (12) can be
expressed as

The BER associated with the chosen bit load is

The Following Steps are


Executed in Sequence

7.

Select one sub carrier bandwidth from the available options.


Evaluate (15), i.e. SINR at each sub carrier for the selected sub
carrier spacing.
Use the above in finding bit load for this chosen value of sub
carrier spacing following (13).
Calculate the associated BER for each sub carrier for the chosen
bit load using (14).
Use the above calculations of bit load and related BER for each
sub carrier in calculating the throughput for the chosen sub carrier
bandwidth following (12).
Store the value of the estimated throughput along with the value of
sub carrier bandwidth and associated bit loads per sub carrier.
Repeat all the above steps for all possible values of sub carrier
bandwidth.

8. Finally execute (9) to select the sub carrier bandwidth and bit loads
per sub carriers which has the highest estimated throughput.
9. Since the rate of change of Doppler condition and average channel
quality is much slower compared to the rate of change of channel
coefficients, one may consider to adapt the sub carrier spacing at a
rate much less than adapting the bit loading. The bit loading should
be done once per coherence time of the channel coefficients. i.e.
once a sub carrier spacing is selected, it may be used until the
Doppler condition or the average signal strength changes significantly
and hence step 1 and step 7 may be skipped, and step 8 may be
modified to Finally execute (9) to select bit loads per sub carriers
which has the highest estimated throughput for the chosen sub
carrier bandwidth.

Conclusion
ASB avoids the complex compensation or interference
cancelation mechanism at the receiver, thereby allowing
lower complexity receivers. Thus the advantage of
increased throughput with possibility of low complexity
receivers makes the proposed ASB a potential candidate
for consideration in future systems.
