An upper bound on the probability of error for WHT-MB-OFDM in the Rayleigh fading channel with convolutional coding is derived, and compared to the upper bound for MB-OFDM. For high rate and low constraint length codes, WHT-MB-OFDM is shown to perform better than MB-OFDM. Next, the effect of narrowband interference is studied, and the WHT-MB-OFDM system is shown to perform significantly better than the MB-OFDM system. Finally, a general amplitude probability distribution (APD) function is derived for linearly precoded MB-OFDM systems and the WHT-MB-OFDM system is shown to cause less interference than the MB-OFDM to the co-existing narrowband system","PeriodicalId":325797,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115160606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a new model evaluation tool based on an analysis of the rank and singular values of the channel matrix, which can be employed to find the region where spherical wave modeling is necessary.

However, in these so called multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communication systems, the performance of the signal detection is tightly related to the channel knowledge at the receiver side. Practically, the channel information at the receiver is subject to error because of the outdated data, quantization error, and imperfect channel estimation/measurement. It is known that in the case of imperfect channel knowledge, performance of symbol detection in MIMO communications may severely degrades. The optimum detection method in the sense of symbol error rate in MIMO systems is the maximum likelihood (ME) detection.
