Evaluation: OFDMA & SC-OFDMA Performance on Wireless Communication

Abstract

 This paper investigates OFDMA and SC-FDMA techniques combined with the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Single carrier frequency Division Multiple Access(SC-FDMA) is a notable application of Multiple Input Multiple Output(MIMO) system. SC-FDMA is one of the most promising techniques aiming at solving the capacity problem of wireless communication systems and achieving higher spectral efficiency, depending on multiplexing signals based on their spatial signature. On the other hand most third generation mobile phone systems are using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) as their modulation technique. CDMA is not so complicated to implement as OFDM based systems. As CDMA has a wide bandwidth, it is difficult to equalize the overall spectrum - significant levels of processing would be needed for this as it consists of a continuous signal and not discrete carriers. Not as easy to aggregate spectrum as for OFDM. For this reason, CDMA is also investigating so that the performance of OFDM-SC-FDMA can be compared. Various OFDMA techniques are investigated including LTE or Long Term Evolution is the brand name given to the efforts of 3GPP 4th Generation technology development efforts mostly in Europe and UMB (Ultra-Mobile Broadband) is the brand name for similar efforts by 3GPP2, linear detection schemes, minimum mean square error, ordered successive cancellation, and maximum likelihood methods. Promising results are obtained to enhance spectral efficiency on the expense of computational complexity which needs to be addressed.
