Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a very well-known technique for efficient data transmission over many carriers overlapped in frequency. Recently, several studies have appeared that describe spectrally efficient variations of multi-carrier systems where the condition of orthogonality is dropped. Proposed techniques suffer from two weaknesses: firstly, the complexity of generating the signal is increased. Secondly, the signal detection is computationally demanding. Known methods suffer either unusably high complexity or high error rates because of the inter-carrier interference. This study addresses both problems by proposing new transmitter and receiver architectures whose design is based on using the simplification that a rational spectrally efficient frequency division multiplexing (SEFDM) system can be treated as a set of overlapped and interleaving OFDM systems. The efficacy of the proposed designs is shown through detailed simulation of systems with different signal types and carrier dimensions. The decoder is heuristic but in practice produces very good results that are close to the theoretical best performance in a variety of settings. The system is able to produce efficiency gains of up to 20% with negligible impact on the required signal-to-noise ratio. date: 2012-03-06 date_type: published publisher: INST ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY-IET official_url: https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-com.2011.0365 vfaculties: VENG oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_source: WoS-Lite elements_id: 407329 doi: 10.1049/iet-com.2011.0365 lyricists_name: Clegg, Richard lyricists_name: Darwazeh, Izzat lyricists_id: RCLEG46 lyricists_id: IDARW65 actors_name: Nonhebel, Lucinda actors_id: LNONH33 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: IET Communications volume: 6 number: 4 pagerange: 449-457 pages: 9 issn: 1751-8636 citation: Clegg, RG; Isam, S; Kanaras, I; Darwazeh, I; (2012) A practical system for improved efficiency in frequency division multiplexed wireless networks.
