Abstract

A new oversampled orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OOFDM) scheme is proposed for doubly selective fading environment. the proposed OOFDM scheme employs oversampling in the time domain and linear processing in the frequency domain, both at the receiver without changing the structure of conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmitters. the time-frequency processing enables a two-dimensional Doppler-frequency grid of the fading channel, such that each data symbol is modeled equivalently as being transmitted at multiple subcarriers and various Doppler spreads simultaneously, while retaining the same spectral efficiency as conventional OFDM systems. Optimum combining ensures coherent combining of the data samples spread over the Doppler-frequency grid and non-coherent combining of inter-carrier interference (ICI) components caused by time varying fading. Theoretical error probabilities of the OOFDM systems are derived by analyzing the statistical properties of Doppler-frequency fading coefficients and noise sample correlations. Both theoretical analysis and computer simulation show that the new system with an oversampling factor of two outperforms the conventional OFDM system by as much as 7 dB. © 2011 IEEE.
