9. Problem Statement
• It is a necessity to design a system that required an advancement and perfect
transmission of data over wireless multipath channels. (i.e. maintain QoS).
• MIMO is technique chosen for realizing the same. But fails to meet the
demands of wireless communication system in all case. Many researchers
working on to improve channel capacity, bandwidth, gain, polarization
diversity etc.
• Similarly technology like OFDM, is an effective technique that combats
frequency selective fading channels. It fails when increase more number of
subcarriers. It address the issue like PAPR, phase offset.
– A peak in the signal power will occur when all, or most, of the sub-carriers align themselves in
phase.

10. Research Objectives
To improve the performance of SNR in the receiver and reduce the
BER in MIMO-OFDM system includes with this techniques.
Module I - Adaptive Pilot Channel Estimation Technique with Equalization
Module II - Adaptive Modulation and Coding
Module III - Hybrid Adaptive Relay
Module IV - Partially Connected Hybrid Beam Forming
10
12. Channel Estimation
The link quality will be estimated based on the BER value at
received signal.
Three type of channel estimation
Blind
Use inherent structure of signal
Constrained to special cases, less accurate
Semi-blind
Use minimal amount of known symbols with inherent structure of signal
Training-based
Use pilot symbols/tones
More accuracy
Consume bandwidth, capacity loss
12
13. Training-based Channel Estimation
The pilot tones are fixed for both channel conditions like Doppler
spread and Delay spread means, then spectral efficiency will be less
for good channel conditions using OFDM transmission.
Several investigations have deal to found out the best pilot tone
arrangements to estimate the channel as well as to increase the
spectral efficiency.
Using different pilot pattern like rectangular and hexagonal etc., are
used to estimate the signal but here also the pilot tone arrangements
are fixed.
13
14. Adaptive Pilot Channel Estimation
The proposed method of Adaptive Pilot Channel Estimation (APCE) is
expected to overcome the fading channel constraints and to increase the
spectral efficiency.
Based on the BER value at the receiver side, the transmitter can
maximize or minimize the pilot tones.
Here pilot tones are arranged in more appropriate and adaptive way
based on the CSI. i.e APCE dynamically utilized the pilot tones based on
the channel conditions like Doppler spread or delay spread.
APCE integrates the goodness in the frequency domain and time
domain. For equalization purposes, set of equalizers such as LS, ZF,
MMSE are employed. 14

27. Module – 1 - Result
• In this phase an APCE technique is used to estimate the channel,
together with MMSE used for equalizations to predict the channel
conditions.
• With reference to the CSI signal, the transmitter can allocate the
resource block dynamically to transmit the data thereby fulfilling the
objective of this phase.
• On performing a comparative analysis based on BER vs SNR,
MIMO-OFDM system with MMSE technique along with QPSK
modulation with 4X4 antennas and 128SC gives an improved
efficiency of 9.3%.
27
29. Why adaptive modulation?
• The adaptive modulation approach is utilized towards channel
adoption conditions, which maximize the spectral efficiency and
reduce the transmission loss. Therefore QoS of the time-varying
channel can be controlled.
– (i.e., adaptive modulation and coding) increases the spectral
efficiency and reliability of the link.
– Adaptive modulation is an important method for effective usage of
the spectrum in MIMO-OFDM systems.
29
30. Adaptive modulation
• A set of pilot signals used to get the information about the channel
and the modulation type, jointly.
• Here the APCE and AM will jointly maximize the spectral efficiency
over the fading channel.
• In adaptive modulation scheme, three different modulation schemes
are considered for evaluations.
– The modulation schemes are BPSK, QPSK, and QAM modulation.
• When the received SNR value is less than 10dB means BPSK
modulation, if it is above 10dB and below 20dB means QPSK else
QAM will be employed (for this case).

43. Module - 2 - Result
• APCE and AM jointly works to identify the perfect modulation for
transmission and it maximizes the spectral efficiency.
• It is observed that the required SNR for BPSK is 6.4% less than the
required SNR for QPSK. Similarly for QPSK it is 2.5% less than the
required SNR for QAM, this improves the overall performance of the
system.
43
45. Need for Relay
– The relay technique is an alternative way to mitigate channel fading
and improve the coverage area.
– To reduce power consumption at the receiver end.
– To increase coverage area without involving new base station.
– Relay node reduces the channel impairments due to multi-path.
45
46. Cont..
• In this module a Hybrid Adaptive Relay (HAR) is refers to as a
truncated function of Amplify and forward relay and Dynamic
Decoding relay.
• Global knowledge of all Relay metrics is needed for the source to
determine which relay is the best to coordinate else to determines not
via executing a back-off mechanism.
• Every relay node should monitor the instantaneous channel state
conditions towards the source and the destination

61. Beam Forming
• Beamforming is a powerful signal processing technique used an
antennas can be steered to transmit the radio signal in a specific
direction.
• Antennas arrays allows to control the radiation pattern by adjusting
the amplitude and phase of the signal received from each element.
• It can reduce the beam power for nearby users and hence interference
issues near to the cell towers can be avoided.
– Coverage – good
– Interference – very less
– Capacity – high
61
62. Partial Connected Hybrid Beamforming
• PC-HBF overcomes the limitations of both analog and digital BF.
– Single signal is fed to each antenna element or multiple
– Can manage and generate only one signal beam or multiple beams
– Recover both the amplitudes and phases
– Requires high DSP process
– Hardware complexity ( expense)
• How Many Phase Shifters are Needed? - Improve Spectral Efficiency

77. Module – 4 - Result
• An extensive set of analysis is carried out to analyze the efficiency of the PC-
HBF for MIMO-OFDM systems with varying number of antenna arrays, set
of subcarriers and RF links.
• The results indicate that the system capacity for the applied model is
increased significantly and the ISI is reduced with an increased number of
subcarriers, antennas array, as well as RF links. It is also noted that PC-HBF
is found to be better than analog BF but not than fully digital BF.
• The results show that the PC-HBF achieves better tradeoff between
computational complexity and a good channel capacity with reduction of
ICI.

90. Future work
• Several methods to enhance the spectral efficiency of OFDM based wireless systems are
proposed in this thesis. However there are many possible areas which can be explored
further.
• In future, the presented research work can be extended to use jointly optimizing the TX and
RX beam formers to maximization SNR and the link adaption.
• The proposed techniques is also suitable for single carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) in order to
avoid the problem in OFDM such as High peak to average power ratio (PAPR) due to wide
bandwidth (large number of subcarrier) and the requirement of high power amplifier leads
to nonlinear distortion.
• Adaptive Multiplexing techniques schemes also a another issue further investigation. By
incorporating Numerology technique the spectral efficiency is still more increased and
throughput also increased. Similarly adaptive subcarrier also a novel technique to utilize the
resource in good manner and still more supporting to enhance the through put up to 1Gbps.

97. Indian Examiner - Questions
1. Table 3.1, from where the simulation parameters taken. Are they in conformity with current benchmarks of
wireless communications?
Antenna diversity, yes.
2. While calculating the BER with respect to the SNR, what value of noise floor has been taken for the
computation? Further MIMO shows better results over SISO; please explain the reason for it.
10dB.
For comparison between MIMO and SISO, power savings of 5-15dB in 4X4 MIMO system with respect SISO system and the throughput will increase 2.5X times
3. Has the antenna mobility qualitative related to SNR for long haul wireless communication? Please justify
your answer with appropriate reasoning quantitatively.
SNR is refers to the variance between the received signal and the noise floor. The noise floor is an incorrect background signal in the wireless medium
that is received from other devices. If the noise level is close to the signal level leads to data corruption, which will degrades the throughput and
latency in the wireless environment.
4. Figure 3.8: what sets the lower limit for average achievable rate for zero SNR? Further SISO APC actually shows a saturation tendency
for higher SNR. What are the possible reasons for the same?
For theoretical the consideration is variable
No diversity
Power cannot be increased at transmitted to a certain level
97
98. Cont.
5. Please explain equation 4.15 qualitatively.
4.15 is expressed about BER related to SNR comparison for modulation variation.
BERi γiS S′ ≤ BERmax; 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1
6. Fig 4.11: why is BEP minimum for M= 4 as shown in the figure. Is there an analytical expression to prove the
variation as shown? Further as SNR increases, the BEP for M=16 also reduces, why?
BER is maximum at this point due to Doppler shift,
98
99. Foreign Examiner - Questions
1. Refer figure 3.2 and table 3.3 – you wrote „‟ additionally, it is observed that the BER is again decreased with
an increased number of antennas. ? Explain why this happens?
Due to Spatial diversity (antenna diversity), the SNR will be increased, so that the BER will decrease when number of antennas increase.
2. Refer figure 4.2. explain the comparative analysis in detail
The comparative analysis shows that the BER and SNR of 128SC with 4×4 APCE is less when compared to other systems, when the number of
subcarriers and antennas increases the BER decreases correspondingly the SNR decreases.
3. Refer figure 6.6 – explain the sum rate comparisons in detail
Figure show that when the number of RF chains increases, the average sum rate also increases. The F-DBF with 8-RF links performs well compared to
other approaches and better than the fully digital with 4-RF links.
4. Give more details of future research suggestions.
1. Several methods to enhance the spectral efficiency of OFDM based wireless systems are proposed in this thesis. However, there are many possible
areas, which can be explored further. It is found in a work that OFDM performs better than multi carrier spread is spectrum under full load
conditions whereas the reverse is true for low load situations. Therefore, hybrid adaptive multiplexing techniques, which combine these two
schemes suitably, can be a possible issue for further investigation.
2. The proposed techniques is also suitable for single carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) in order to avoid the problem in OFDM such as High peak to
average power ratio (PAPR)due to wide bandwidth (large number of subcarrier) and the requirement of high power amplifier leads to nonlinear
distortion.
