Abstract

Introduction:OFDM has evolved as an effective modulation format for 4G mobile network technologies, Long-Term Evolution, and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. OFDM is the modulation technique adopted for communication standards such as DSL, wireless LAN, DVB, and DAB. However, because CP-OFDM has considerable out-of-band emission that may interfere with transmissions in adjacent bands and applies a single set of parameters to the whole band to fulfill a given service, it is unable to accommodate the diversity of services. The objective of the research is to develop a novel waveform with better adaptability than CP-OFDM that employs filters to increase spectrum containment. In this view, an FIR filter that uses the Blackman window function to lessen the OOBE is proposed in this manuscript. Filtered OFDM is sensitive to carrier frequency offset (CFO). CFO increases the Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) in F-OFDM systems. However, research work that combines the CFO compensation technique with filtered OFDM has not been listed in the literature so far.

Methods:In this paper, Maximum likelihood estimation is used to cancel the ICI caused by the CFO. The high PAPR of filtered OFDM is one of its drawbacks. The amplitude clipping method is used to reduce the PAPR. The distortion caused by amplitude clipping is prevented by filters used in the FOFDM system.

Highlights:• A novel waveform addressing OOBE issues in OFDM is developed for 4G wireless communication networks. • An innovative solution using MLE is proposed to address the challenges faced by the filtered OFDM system due to the CFO. • Article addresses the high PAPR problem of filtered OFDM.

Results:The performance of filtered OFDM with amplitude clipping is analyzed in terms of BER, PSD, and PAPR over the AWGN channel.

Conclusion:Simulation results show that, when compared to the traditional OFDM system, such a combined method effectively suppresses PAPR while maintaining good BER (Bit Error Rate) and OOBE performance.
