Title of the Paper : Design of IIR filters from wavelets – a comparative study

Research Description : Digital filters being the core of digital signal processing systems are categorized into Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter and Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter. Research in this domain shows that both types of digital filters are significant. Digital FIR filters can be designed directly from the required specifications, while digital IIR filters are popularly designed by applying the frequency transformation on the corresponding analog prototype filter. Literature shows the use of wavelets for digital signal processing. The Daubechies wavelets may be recognized as FIR filters with low-pass and high-pass cut-off frequency of 1/2, respectively. The paper attempts to apply digital frequency transformation to meet the desired cut-off frequency to the wavelet coefficients, and in the process, the FIR filter now becomes an IIR filter. The paper compares the response of the IIR filters designed using wavelets with a corresponding IIR filter designed using bilinear transform and the impulse invariant transform of analog Butterworth filters. It is observed that the frequency responses of the IIR filter designed using wavelets and designed using the bilinear transform are comparable. Hence, we have an alternate and simpler method of designing the IIR filters to meet the given specifications.

Title of the Paper : Narrow Band Digital Filter for Carrier Aggregation

Research Description : Digital signal processing takes its place in the field of research as digital systems are taking over the world. The digital filters form the important part of any digital system. Digital filter realizations are improving each day. Commonly designed digital filters use higher order of filter to achieve narrow transition band. One of the applications of narrow transition band filters may be for the user equipment (UE) that uses LTE-Advanced (long Term Evolution) technology. Carrier Aggregation is one among the significant mechanisms of LTE-Advanced. It provides for the wide bandwidth so that the capacity can be increased. Narrow band filters may be used for extracting the desired signal from this wide bandwidth. This paper explores the narrow band FIR filters with the introduction of the small transition band.

Title of the Paper : A New OFDM System Based on Discrete Cosine Harmonic Wavelet Transform (DCHWT) for PSK and QAM,

Research Description : This paper proposes a new orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, based on discrete cosine harmonic wavelet (DCHWT) for PSK and 16-QAM modulated signals. This system uses energy compaction property of discrete cosine transform (DCT) that provides low leakage in subcarriers. DCHWT based OFDM system provides improved performance in terms of bit error rate (BER) and reduction in the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) compared to conventional cyclic prefix (CP) based Fourier transform OFDM (DFT-OFDM). Application of μμ -law companding to proposed system further improves the PAPR performance. The complementary cumulative distribution (CCDF) plots corroborate the same. BER performance is on par or better than that of Haar wavelet based OFDM in addition to improvement in PAPR. PAPR improved is in the range of 0.8–2.3 dB compared to Haar and DFT OFDM respectively, with remarkable improvement in BER. Proposed method is simple, does not require explicit decimation, interpolation, associated filtering and delay compensation for reconstruction, compared to other time domain wavelet transforms.

Title of the Paper : PAPR REDUCTION WITH ERROR CONTROL CODING IN OFDM

Research Description : Multicarrier schemes are supported to high data rate. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
and Filtered Multi-Tone (FMT) are two techniques of multicarrier schemes. OFDM is an attractive air-interface
for next-generation wireless network without complex equalizer. OFDM is designed such a way that it sends
data over hundreds of parallel carrier which increases data rate. OFDM scheme is suffer by inter-symbol
interference (ISI) problem and peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). An OFDM signal consists of a number of
independently modulated carriers, which can give a large peak-to-average power ratio when added up
coherently. When N signals are added with the same phase, they produce a peak power that is N times the
average power. For this example, the peak power is 16 times the average value. The peak power is defined as
the power of a sine wave with amplitude equal to the maximum envelope value. Hence, an unmodulated carrier
has a PAP ratio of 0 dB. An alternative measure of the envelope variation of a signal is the Crest factor, which
is defined as the maximum signal value divided by the RMS signal value. For an unmodulated carrier, the Crest
factor is 3 dB. This 3-dB difference between the PAPR and Crest factor also holds for other signals, provided
that the center frequency is large in comparison with the signal bandwidth. A large PAP ratio brings
disadvantages like an increased complexity of the analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A)
converters and a reduced efficiency of the RF power amplifier.
To reduce the PAPR, many techniques have been proposed, such as clipping, coding, partial transmit sequence
(PTS), selected mapping (SLM), interleaving, hadamard transforms and other techniques etc. Among those
PAPR reduction methods, the simplest method is to use the clipping method. However, using clipping
processing causes both in-band distortion and out-of-band distortion but this can be reduce by using filtering
after clipping. This paper focus is on the clipping and filtering technique to reduce PAPR of OFDM system.
Using simulation results the analyzing effect of clipping and filtering technique to reduce the PAPR.

Title of the Paper : Spectral estimation and Spectral sensing for cognitive Radios”, National Conference on Women in Science and Engineering

Research Description : Spectrum estimation and spectrum sensing are primarychore of cognitive radio (CR), where in dynamically it explores the radio spectrum and reliably determine portion of the frequency bands that has been used and unused by the primary users. In this paper we propose spectrum estimation using Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) which has Non parametric estimators like Periodogram, Welch and Multitaper methods. Next Discrete cosine transform (DCT) whose performance is compared with respect to fast Fourier transform (FFT) using variance as the parameter. Further spectral sensing using wavelet packet transform for various decomposition level and different types of wavelets is being compared based on its performance parameter Receiver operating characteristics (ROC).In addition this paper also discuss about spectrum sensing using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).Simulation results show DCT provides better spectral estimation than DFT and has less variance. Further for wavelets Daubechies wavelet has better performance in ROC with increase in depth andorder of 10.

Title of the Paper : PAPR Reduction using SLM and Companding Technique”

Research Description : Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an modulation and multiplexing technique preferred in present wireless environment. One of the issues to be addressed in OFDM is high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the received signal which may cause power amplifiers at receivers to go into saturation. In this paper a selective mapping technique (SLM) associated with Reed Solomon (RS) code and µ law Companding is proposed to reduce PAPR in OFDM system. The simulation results shown with CCDF graphs indicate improved performance in PAPR with RS coding and companding as compared to conventional method. Further the advantage gained with using Reed Solomon (RS) coding is good error correcting capability in multipath environment.

Title of the Paper : Channel Equalization with efficient variable stepsize Transform domain adaptive algorithm

Research Description : Equalization techniques compensate for the time dispersion introduced by communication
channels and combat the resulting inter-symbol interference (ISI) effect. The purpose of an
adaptive equalizer is to operate on the channel output such that the cascade connection of the
channel and the equalizer provides an approximation to an ideal transmission medium. This
paper compares existing adaptive algorithm for channel equalisation for both DFT and DCT
based OFDM system. Simulations results show that performance of Transform Domain
Variable stepsize Griffith LMS(TVGLMS) algorithm in channel equalization performs with
better convergence speed and better error misadjustment than the LMS algorithm. Further
simulation results shows that DCT based OFDM system outperforms DFT –OFDM in terms
of BER and PAPR .

Title of the Paper : Developments in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system-a survey

Research Description : In today's communication scenario, high data rate single-carrier transmission may not be feasible due to too much complexity of the equalizer in the receiver. To overcome the frequency selectivity of the wideband channel experienced by single-carrier transmission, multiple carriers can be used for high rate data transmission. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), is multicarrier system which has become a modulation in physical layer of next generation WiMAX, LTE system. In this paper effort is made to present challenges in OFDM and work done so far in channel equalisation and different transforms used in OFDM system.

Title of the Paper : PAPR REDUCTION IN OFFSET QPSK OFDM THROUGH LOSSY SOURCE CODING

Research Description : Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing along with the multiple accesses is the modulation technique used in the fourth generation wireless communication. With the fast growing technology and the huge demand for the increase in the bandwidth has made OFDM as the best modulation technique for high speed transmission. The spectrum of the bandwidth is effectively utilized in an OFDM. This provides higher efficiency and improves the overall performance of the system. Though OFDM has all these advantages there are certain drawbacks which need to be addressed. The major ones include Inter carrier Interference and the ratio of the peak to the average power. The research idea was to consider the drawback and try to overcome it. Hence ratio of the peak to the average power was considered. The methodology is to generate the OFDM symbols with Offset QPSK as the modulation technique and analyse the peak power and peak to average power ratio of the generated symbols and apply the proposed method to reduce it. The lossy coding method falls under the category of the signal distortion. The simulation is performed in MATLAB. The simulation results of the proposed method and the amount of the reduction achieved in ratio of the peak to average power along with the amount of the bit error rate have been discussed in the paper.

Title of the Paper : Digital circuit simulation study of Lossy source coding for PAPR reduction

Research Description : Telecommunication field is emerging rapidly with the huge demand for data communication and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is one such modulation. The efficiency of an OFDM technique is high and multipath fading is improved to a greater extent. In spite of these benefits with an OFDM technique the instantaneous increase in the power output is the major drawback of an OFDM which results in high Peak to average power ratio. Due to this high PAPR the signal quality will degrade and reduces the efficiency. To reduce the PAPR in the OFDM symbol, a Lossy Coding method was proposed and implemented in Lab VIEW. OFDM symbols are generated for different symbol lengths and peak power is calculated for all possible combinations of the symbol lengths. The observation made was that only four combinations had high value of peak power compared with the other possible combinations. The proposed method reduces the peak power of the four combinations which in turn reduces the PAPR but with the signal distortion. This enforces Bit error rate. We also observed that as the length of the symbol increases the bit error rate will decrease

Title of the Paper : PAPR Reduction through Lossy Coding

Research Description : Orthogonal Frequency division multiplexing is the modulation technique used for the fourth generation wireless communication system. In OFDM, Signals can be modulated by multiple carriers. OFDM uses the bandwidth of the spectrum efficiently. But the limitation of the OFDM system is the high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) which results in the degradation of the signal quality. Hence reducing the PAPR is the major criteria for any systems. Several researchers has proposed and implemented the methods to reduce the Peak to average power ratio. In this paper an attempt has been made to provide an overview of the different PAPR reduction techniques in OFDM and proposes new lossy coding method which can be adopted to reduce the PAPR in the OFDM systems with the introduced BER

Title of the Paper : PAPR of QPSK OFDM modulation schemes: A comparative study

Research Description : Abstract: With the rapid growth in the field of telecommunication, there is a huge demand for the increase in the bandwidth. Orthogonal Frequency division multiplexing is an advanced modulation technique suitable for the fourth generation wireless communication due to the improved spectral efficiency and the bandwidth. Besides these benefits of the OFDM there are some major concerns in an OFDM which needs to be taken care. Inter symbol interference and the Peak to average power ratio [PAPR] is the major drawbacks affecting the performance of an OFDM symbols. In this work PAPR has been considered. The comparative study of PAPR of QPSK OFDM and the Offset QPSK OFDM has been done. Initially OFDM symbols are generated with the QPSK as the modulation techniques for the different symbol lengths ranging from 8 to 12 and the PAPR has been calculated for all combinations. The number of the combinations resulting in a high value of PAPR was 16 for all the symbol lengths. The experiment was repeated with the offset QPSK for the same symbol lengths and the numbers of the combinations resulting in a high value of PAPR were reduced to 8 for all the symbol lengths. The mean of the QPSK and the Offset QPSK were computed. There was a reduction in the mean with the offset QPSK compared with the QPSK. The simulation results and the mean of the same have been discussed in this pape

Title of the Paper : Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing peak-to average power ratio reduction by best tree selection using coded discrete cosine harmonic wavelet packet transform

Research Description : A new orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with reduced peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) based on coded discrete cosine harmonic wavelet packet transform (DCHWPT), is proposed. In this method, tree pruning is done for the selection of a tree structure with minimum PAPR. To identify different tree structures, Gray code is used which is communicated as side information to the receiver. Also to improve bit error rate (BER) performance and reduce PAPR, Hadamard codes are employed. The proposed method based on DCHWPT exploits the desirable discrete cosine transform (DCT) properties like energy compaction/low leakage, better frequency resolution and its real nature, compared with those of discrete Fourier transform. Further, the harmonic wavelet employed has built in decimation without any associated antialiasing filters and easy reconstruction by concatenation of different scales in frequency (DCT) domain with no image rejection filters and complicated delay compensation makes the proposed wavelet packet simple in implementation. The proposed OFDM discrete cosine harmonic wavelet packet (DCHWP-OFDM) which leverages the advantages of DCHWPT has been used for BPSK modulated signals. The DCHWP-OFDM provides an improvement of PAPR reduction of 2.4 and 3.4 dB as compared with those of Haar and Daubechies-4 wavelet packet OFDM, respectively. This reduction in PAPR is with a BER performance in the range of 0.001-0.0001 at an signal-to-noise ratio of 10 dB.
