OFDM is a promising technique for high-data-rate wireless communications because it can combat inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by the dispersive fading of wireless channels. The proposed research focuses on techniques that improve the performance of OFDM-based wireless communications and its commercial and military applications. In particular, we address the following aspects of OFDM: inter-channel interference (ICI) suppression, interference suppression for clustered OFDM, clustered OFDM based anti-jamming modulation, channel estimation for MIMO-OFDM, MIMO transmission with limited feedback. For inter-channel interference suppression, a frequency domain partial response coding (PRC) scheme is proposed to mitigate ICI. We derive the near-optimal weights for PRC that is independent on the channel power spectrum. The error floor resulting from ICI can be reduced significantly using a two-tap or a three-tap PRC. Clustered OFDM is a new technique that has many advantages over traditional OFDM. In clustered OFDM systems, adaptive antenna arrays are used for interference suppression. To calculate weights for interference suppression, we propose a polynomial-based parameter estimator to combat the severe leakage of the DFT based estimator due to the small size of the cluster. An adaptive algorithm is developed to obtain optimal performance. For high data rate military communications, we propose a clustered OFDM base spread spectrum modulation to provide both anti-jamming and fading suppression capability. We analyze the performance of uncoded and coded system. Employing multiple transmit and receive antennas in OFDM systems (MIMO-OFDM) can increase the spectral efficiency and link reliability. We develop a minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) channel estimator that takes advantage of the spatial-frequency correlations in MIMO-OFDM systems to minimize the estimation error. We investigate the training sequence design and two optimal training sequence designs are given for arbitrary spatial correlations. For a MIMO system, the diversity and array gains can be obtained by exploiting channel information at the transmitter. For MIMO-OFDM systems, we propose a subspace tracking based approach that can exploit the frequency correlations of the OFDM system to reduce the feedback rate. The proposed approach does not need recalculate the precoding matrix and is robust to multiple data stream transmission.

Wideband measurements of the mobile-to-mobile channel, especially of the harshest channels, are necessary for proper design and certification testing of mobile-to-mobile communications systems. A complete measurement implies that the Doppler and delay characteristics are measured jointly. However, such measurements have not previously been published. The main objective of the proposed research is to develop channel models for specific scenarios from data obtained in a wideband mobile-to-mobile measurement campaign in the 5.9 GHz frequency band. For this purpose we developed a channel sounding system including a novel combined waveform. In order to quantify and qualify either the recorded channel or the proposed generated channel, we developed a simulation test-bed that includes all the characteristics of the proposed digital short range communications (DSRC) standard. The resulting channel models needed to comply with the specifications required by hardware channel emulators or software channel simulators. From the obtained models, we selected one to be included in the IEEE 802.11p standard certification test. To further aid in the development of software radio based receivers, we also developed an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) synchronization algorithm to analyze and compensate synchronization errors produced by inaccessible system clocks.

Os estudos relativos aos aspectos inerentes à transmissão de pacotes em sistemas TD/DS-CDMA são particularizados na análise dos protocolos CDMA/PRMA (Code Division Multiple Access/ Packet Reservation Multiple Access) e Slotted CDMA/ALOHA. CDMA/PRMA é um protocolo de múltiplo acesso híbrido, no qual se aplicam os conceitos de multiplexação no tempo~por código e de alocação de recursos por meio de reserva. O acesso controlado ao canal do protocolo CDMA/PRMA permite a redução da variação da carga instantânea do canal e, conseqüentemente, redução da interferência de múltiplo acesso em relação ao protocolo Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA, onde os terminais acessam no próximo slot de tempo tão logo tenham pacotes a transmitir. Utiliza-se simulação computacional de maneira intensiva para à obtenção de resultados concernentes ao desempenho dos protocolos CDMA/PRMA e Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA em distintas condições operacionais. Estes resultados são validados por análises numéricas. Entre outros aspectos deste trabalho, destaca-se: (i) o modelo do ponto de equilíbrio proposto para os protocolos CDMA/PRMA e Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA; (ii) as expressões numéricas propostas para uma análise de desempenho do protocolo CDMA/PRMA; (iii) o desenvolvimento de um simulador de rede de pacotes para a investigação dos efeitos da interferência externa nas redes de pacotes CDMA/PRMA e Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA; (iv) efeitos dos parâmetros de projeto no desempenho dos protocolos CDMA/PRMA e Slotted CDMA/ ALORA; (v) estudo do desempenho dos protocolos CDMA/PRMA e Slotted CDMA/ ALORA com tráfego de vídeo com taxa variável e tráfego de dados WWW; (vi) a investigação dos efeitos do controle de potência, do desvanecimento rápido e do desvanecimento lento no desempenho dos protocolos CDMA/PRMA e Slotted CDMA/ ALORA com tráfego multimídia; (vii) o projeto integrado do protocolo CDMA/PRMA com receptor de detecção conjunta descorrelacionadora<br>Abstract: This thesis has the objective of to analyze, to characterize and to propose solutions to the challenge of design medium access control protocols for transmission of multimedia packets over the reverse channel of land mobile cellular systems based on TD/DS-CDMA (Time Division/Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access) air interface. Some inherent aspects of packet transmission over the reverse link of TD/DS-CDMA systems are particularized in the analysis of the CDMA/PRMA (Code Division Multiple Access/Packet Reservation Multiple Access) and Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA protocols. The joint CDMA/PRMA protocol is a hybrid multiple-access technique that combines time-division, code-division and Reservation ALOHA concepts. The CDMA/PRMA medium access control brings to reduction of the users variance on the channel, so a larger capacity is obtained in relation to the Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA protocol, where a mobile station accesses a time slot as soon as it has packets to transmit. It is used intensely computational simulation techniques to obtain some performance results concerning to CDMA/PRMA Slotted and CDMA/ ALOHA behavior over distinct operational conditions. It is utilized numerical techniques to validate some of obtained results. It is emphasized the following aspects of this Thesis: (i) a equilibrium point analysis model for the CDMA/PRMA and Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA protocols; (ii) some numerical expressions that permits to analyze the CDMA/PRMA behavior on voice-only traffic; (iii) a system level network simulator developed to assess and to compare the intercell interference effects on the CDMA/PRMA and Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA protocols performance; (iv) the design parameters effects on the performance of CDMA/PRMA and Slotted CDMA/ALOHA systems; (v) some studies of CDMA/PRMA and Slotted CDMA/ALOHA behavior on mixed voice/variable bit rate video and voice/WWW browsing traffic; (vi) some analysis of the imperfect power control effects, slow and fast fading effects on the capacity of CDMA/PRMA and Slotted CDMA/ ALOHA protocols; (vii) a integrated design of CDMA/PRMA protocol and a multiuser decorrelator detector<br>Doutorado<br>Telecomunicações e Telemática<br>Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica
