Abstract

The use of channel inversion for adaptive pre-equalised OFDM-based systems has been introduced by Keller and Hanzo (see Proceedings of VTC´99 falls, p.334-38, 1999) and was shown to be very sensitive to time variations and power clipping at the transmitter. In this paper we examine a fixed bit-rate channel inversion-based OFDM system and show that by combining such a technique with channel compensation at the receiver, a performance improvement in excess of 7 dB over standard OFDM transmission can be obtained when the channel characteristics are time varying
