OFDM vs FDM

OFDM using N orthogonal subcarriers

Carriers with duration T sec (1/6)
Example: BW = Fs = 20MHz and N=128 In the 20MHz spectrum, there are 128 narrowband sub-carriers. The duration of each subcarrier is The frequency separation between them is fixed at The 128 subcarrier frequencies are

Spectrum of a single subcarrier with time duration Tu

Example: BW=Fs=20MHz and Δf = KHz The duration of each subcarrier is The number of subcarriers are given by The 128 subcarrier frequencies are

The N subcarrier frequencies can be written as The discrete time signal is given by Theory: Two sinusoids that occupy time T will be orthogonal iff their frequency separation Δf is a multiple of !! Result:All N subcarriers sk with duration N samples are orthogonal

Carriers of limited duration (4/6)
For example, assume Fs = 16 and N=16 (T=N/Fs=1sec) The subcarrier frequencies are The spectrum of subcarrier f10 is Sinc centered around f10 Notice that sidelobes have nulls at the frequencies

Spectrum of 16 samples of frequency 10 Hz with sampling freq. 16Hz Matlab code for previous plot: clear Fs=16; f0=10; N=16; x1T = exp(j*2*pi*f0*[0:N-1]/Fs); % exp(j 2 π f0 t) with t = n Ts x1F = fft(x1T, N*16); % 16 x resolution in frequency domain figure (1) plot([0:N*16-1]/16, x1F) xlabel('frequency bin') ylabel('amplitude') title('spectrum of 1 subcarrier with N samples')

When two sinusoids occupy time T=NTs, then if their frequency separation is then the sinusoids will be orthogonal (peak of 1 carrier happens at a null frequency of the other).

Spectrum of OFDM – orthogonal carriers
If we take an FFT of the OFDM signal we see that when each carrier has a peak, all others are zero. This is expected, since the spectrum of each sub-carrier of length T has a zero at multiples of 1/T (peaks of other subcarriers)

Generation of OFDM sub-carriers using IDFT (1/5)
All complex sinusoids transmitted for duration N*Ts=T will be orthogonal, since they differ in frequency between them by integer multiple of (1/T). Therefore, we can use each frequency to transmit one symbol X(k) (symbol is BPSK or QPSK or 16-QAM, etc). Then we can add them in parallel for duration T (N samples) and transmit them (A) However, eq. (A) is the IDFT of vector X (symbol vector)

Example: generate the 5th (k=5) subcarrier with frequency 5* MHz and amplitude 0.5 (BW = Fs = 20 MHz and N = 128) Input signal X(k) is sampled with Fs and goes through a serial to parallel conversion. Input vector X = [zeros(1,5), 0.5, zeros(1,128-6)]T at input of IDFT of length 128. IFFT(X,N)

Implementation of eq. (A) using IFFT Channel Serial To Parallel IFFT Parallel To Cyclic Prefix Symbol Source (BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM)

OFDM transmission based on matrix multiplication: Each column of NxN matrix is a subcarrier. Transmit signal:

OFDM transmission based on N x N Fourier matrix (F = WNH ) where H is Hermitian transpose. Transmit signal: Received signal:

OFDM Transmitter/Receiver (1/3)
Therefore, instead of transmitting X(k) k=0,1,…,N-1 symbols serially, each one with time Ts (for total time NTs=T), in OFDM, we transmit for time T all of them in parallel (signal given by eq. A) The OFDM transmitter-receiver in block diagram is given below

Το IDFT δίνει το OFDM symbol που αποτελείται από τη σειρά μήκους Ν, όπου OFDM σύμβολο ονομάζουμε την έξοδο του IFFT: δηλαδή όλα τα Ν δείγματα αποτελούν 1 OFDM symbol. Στο δέκτη, παίρνοντας το DFT του λαμβανομένου σήματος ανακτούμε τα αρχικά σύμβολα της ψηφιακής διαμόρφωσης Χ.

OFDM transmitter with encoder and interleaver
Block diagram of a/g transceiver architecture The sequence of interleaved bits is mapped into a sequence of modulation symbols, e.g., 16-QAM. Therefore, 4 consecutive coded bits at the encoder output will be separated and each coded bit will combine with 3 other bits and will be sent with a different symbol, that is, it will be sent with a different subcarrier.

Frequency selective channel
Multipath propagation results in frequency selective fading. OFDM solution to maintain subcarrier orthogonality is Cyclic Prefix

Cyclic Prefix (1/5) Το cyclic prefix του ορίζεται ως δηλαδή αποτελείται από τις τελευταίες M τιμές του . Για κάθε ακολουθία εκπομπής μήκους Ν, αυτά τα M δείγματα μπαίνουν στην αρχή της ακολουθίας εκπομπής. Αυτό δημιουργεί μία νέα ακολουθία μήκους Ν+M: x[N-M] x[N-M+1] … x[N-1] x[0] x[1] x[2] x[N-M-1] x[N-M] x[N-M+1]… x[N-1]

Effect of wireless channel
Intersymbol interference in single carrier systems due to multipath propagation with channel delay spread τΜΑΧ >> symbol time Ts ( symbols overlap!!!)

Symbol times in one OFDM symbol
OFDM increases the modulation symbol time duration by N times !!! Ts=TOFDM=N*T where T=1/BW, frequencies that differ by Δf = 1/TOFDM and N=BW/Δf

OFDM example Using single carrier with data rate of 10 Mbps with QPSK modulation (2 bits per symbol, BW=5MHz) gives a symbol rate Rs = 5 Msymbols/sec or symbol time Ts = 1/(5M sym/sec) = 0.2 μseconds. With a bandwidth of 5 MHz, if we have an OFDM system with 1000 carriers, the OFDM symbol time is TOFDM= 1/Δf = 1/(5MHz/1000) = 200 μseconds. At the speed of light, an object in an urban environment (typically 1 Km away) generates a delay of 6.6 μsec. This reflected signal would be completely out of sync with the direct signal and will affect 6.6/0.2 = 33 symbols with single carrier. However, for OFDM, the delay of 6.6 μseconds is only 1/30th of the OFDM symbol duration TOFDM =200 μseconds.

The information bit rate achieved depends on the modulation and channel coding rate used in each subcarrier and is given by Numerical example using QPSK and R=1/2

OFDM vs OFDMA Subchannelization is the method that differentiates OFDMA with OFDM. The available subcarriers within the total bandwidth can be divided into several groups of subcarriers called subchannels. Subchannels can be assigned to the users on a logical procedure based on user demands and channel conditions.

Subchannels in OFDM systems
Subchannelization in Fixed WiMAX is done in the uplink direction only (subscriber station to base station). In the downlink direction, all the subcarriers (i.e., 192) are assigned to the base station. In the uplink direction, 16 subchannels are defined, of which any number (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16) can be assigned to a subscriber station. Only one subscriber station can transmit on a particular subchannel at one time. As there are 192 data subcarriers, one subchannel consists of 192/16 =12 subcarriers. This implies that a subscriber station can transmit at bit rates that are 1/16 the bit rates of one OFDM symbol.

Resource (frequency bins) allocation
Ο τρόπος με τον οποίο κάθε χρήστης επιτυγχάνει να στείλει τα σύμβολα του σε συγκεκριμένα υποφέροντα (από τα Ν υποφέροντα σε ένα εύρος φάσματος 0 – Fs (Hz)), είναι να εισάγει τα σύμβολα εκπομπής μόνο στις εισόδους του IDFT που αντιστοιχούν στα υποφέροντα εκπομπής και 0 αλλού. Π.χ. για να στείλει δεδομένα στα πρώτα 8 υποφέροντα (από Ν=64), 8 σύμβολα εκπομπής θα εισέλθουν στις εισόδους 0-7 ενός IDFT με μήκος (αριθμό εισόδων) Ν=64. Με αυτό τον τρόπο, κάθε χρήστης εκπέμπει σε διαφορετικά υποφέροντα. Στο Δέκτη, χρησιμοποιείται ένας DFT με μήκος Ν, ενώ κάθε χρήστης λαμβάνει ΜΟΝΟ τα σύμβολα που του αντιστοιχούν, δηλαδή στο προηγούμενο παράδειγμα, θα “πάρει” μόνο τα πρώτα 8 σύμβολα (από τα Ν=64) της εξόδου του DFT.

Frequency selective channel
Multipath propagation results in frequency selective fading. OFDM solution to maintain subcarrier orthogonality is Cyclic Prefix

OFDM transmission Consider a time-discrete (sampled) OFDM signal where it is assumed that the sampling rate fs is a multiple of the subcarrier spacing Δf fs = 1/Ts = N • Δf As Nc • Δf can be seen as the nominal bandwidth of the OFDM signal, this implies that N should exceed Nc with a sufficient margin. N/Nc, is the over-sampling of the time-discrete OFDM signal.

OFDM transmission parameters
As an example, for 3GPP LTE the number of subcarriers Nc is approximately 600 in the case of a 10 MHz spectrum allocation. The IFFT size can then, for example, be selected as N = This corresponds to a sampling rate fs = N • Δf = MHz, where Δf = 15 kHz is the LTE subcarrier spacing. OFDM transmission parameters The subcarrier spacing Δf. The number of subcarriers Nc, which, together with the subcarrier spacing, determines the overall transmission bandwidth of the OFDM signal. The cyclic-prefix length TCP. Together with the subcarrier spacing Δf = 1/Tu, the cyclic-prefix length determines the overall OFDM symbol time T = TCP + Tu or, equivalently, the OFDM symbol rate.

OFDM demodulation Recover the modulation symbols

Coded OFDM Problem solution

Frequency Interleaving
Channel coding implies that each bit of information to be transmitted is spread over several, often very many, code bits. If these coded bits are then, via modulation symbols, mapped to a set of OFDM subcarriers that are well distributed over the overall transmission bandwidth of the OFDM signal each information bit will experience frequency diversity in the case of transmission over frequency selective channel Distributing the code bits in the frequency domain, is referred to as frequency interleaving.

OFDMAccess Downlink: in each OFDM symbol interval, different subsets of the overall set of available subcarriers are used for transmission to different terminals. Uplink: in each OFDM symbol interval, different subsets of the overall set of subcarriers are used for data transmission from different terminals

DFT-Spread OFDM A block of M modulation symbols from some modulation alphabet, for example QPSK or 16QAM, is first applied to a size-M DFT. The output of the DFT is then applied to consecutive inputs (subcarriers) of an OFDM modulator where, in practice, the OFDM modulator will be implemented as a size-N inverse DFT (IDFT) with N > M and where the unused inputs of the IDFT are set to zero.

LTE Radio Access In the time domain, different time intervals within LTE are expressed as multiples of a basic time unit Ts = 1/ The radio frame has a length of 10 ms (Tframe = ・ Ts). Each frame is divided into ten equally sized subframes of 1 ms in length (Tsubframe = ・ Ts). Scheduling is done on a subframe basis for both the downlink and uplink. Each subframe consists of two equally sized slots of 0.5 ms in length (Tslot = ・ Ts). Each slot in turn consists of a number of OFDM symbols which can be either seven (normal cyclic prefix) or six (extended cyclic prefix)

LTE Radio Access Frame structure for LTE in FDD mode (Frame Structure Type 1).

LTE Radio Access The useful symbol time is Tu = 2048 × Ts ≈ 66.7 μs. For the normal mode, the first symbol has a cyclic prefix of length TCP = 160 × Ts ≈ 5.2 μs. The remaining six symbols have a cyclic prefix of length TCP = 144 × Ts ≈ 4.7 μs. The reason for different CP length of the first symbol is to make the overall slot length in terms of time units divisible by For the extended mode, the cyclic prefix is TCP-e = 512 × Ts ≈ 16.7 μs. The CP is longer than the typical channel delay spread of a few microseconds. The normal cyclic prefix is used in urban cells and high data rate applications while the extended cyclic prefix is used in special cases like multi-cell broadcast and in very large cells (e.g. rural areas, low data rate applications).

LTE Radio Access In the frequency domain, the number of sub-carriers N ranges from 128 to 2048, depending on channel bandwidth. N= 512 and 1024 correspond to 5 and 10 MHz, respectively, being most commonly used in practice. The sub-carrier spacing is Df = 1/Tu = 15 kHz. The sampling rate is fs = Df ・ N = N. This results in a sampling rate that’s multiple or sub-multiple of the WCDMA chip rate of 3.84 Mcps: LTE parameters have been chosen such that FFT lengths and sampling rates are easily obtained for all operation modes while at the same time ensuring the easy implementation of dual-mode devices with a common clock reference.

LTE Radio Access In a macrocell, the coherence bandwidth (depends on Doppler spread which depends on user velocity) of the signal is in the order of 1 MHz. Within the LTE carrier bandwidth of up to 20 MHz there are some sub-carriers that are faded and other are not faded. Transmission is done using those frequencies that are not faded. The transmission can be scheduled by Resource Blocks (RB) 1 RB = 12 consecutive sub-carriers, or 180 kHz, for the duration of one slot (0.5 ms), that is for (7 OFDM symbols, or 6 for 72 for extended CP) A Resource Element (RE) is the smallest defined unit which consists of one OFDM sub-carrier during one OFDM symbol interval. Each Resource Block consists of 12 ・ 7 = 84 Resource Elements in case of normal cyclic prefix (72 for extended CP).
