SC-FDMA for Mobile Communications

SC-FDMA for Mobile Communications examines Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA). Explaining this rapidly evolving system for mobile communications, it describes its advantages and limitations and outlines possible solutions for addressing its current limitations.

The book explores the emerging trend of cooperative communication with SC-FDMA and how it can improve the physical layer security. It considers the design of distributed coding schemes and protocols for wireless relay networks where users cooperate to send their data to the destination. It also proposes a cooperative diversity protocol implementing space-time coding for an arbitrary number of relay nodes with Amplify-and-Forward (AF) protocol, when the source-destination link contributes in the second phase.

Supplying you with the required foundation in cooperative communication and cooperative diversity, it presents an improved Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-based SC-FDMA system. It introduces a distributed space–time coding scheme and evaluates its performance and studies distributed SFC for broadband relay channels.

• Presents relay selection schemes for improving the physical layer
• Introduces a new transceiver scheme for the SC-FDMA system
• Describes space–time/frequency coding schemes for SC-FDMA
• Includes MATLAB^R codes for all simulation experiments

This forward-looking reference considers the design of a distributed Space-Frequency Code (SFC) for multipath fading relay channels that can exploit both cooperative and multipath diversities. It investigates Carrier Frequency Offsets (CFO) for the Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) SC-FDMA system, and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) SC-FDMA system simulation software. Covering the design of cooperative diversity schemes for the SC-FDMA system in the uplink direction, it also introduces and studies a new transceiver scheme for the SC-FDMA system.
