How to reduce the bit error rate of OFDM
For this, numerous techniques are proposed to beat the PAPR problem like i) Selective mapping (SLM) ii) Partial transmit sequence (PTS), iii) Clipping, iv) Clipping and filtering. Current technological objectives for OFDM focus primarily on optimizing bit error rate (BER) performance, particularly in high-data-rate applications where transmission reliability directly impacts user experience. However, one amongst the foremost drawbacks of the OFDM system is that the high-peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) that leads the system to provide in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation and reduces its efficiency. OFDM can be implemented easily, it is spectrally efficient and can provide high data rates with sufficient robustness to channel imperfections. Abstract-In this paper we present an analytical approach to evaluate the bit error rate (BER) of OFDM systems subject to carrier frequency offset (CFO) and channel estimation error in Rayleigh flat fading as well as in time and frequency selective fading channels.
