Introduction
 Because of its high-speed data transmission and
effectiveness in combating the frequency selective
fading channel, OFDM technique is widely used in
wireless communication nowadays.
 Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
is a multi-carrier transmission technique, which
divides the available spectrum into many
subcarriers, each one being modulated by a low
data rate stream.

Introduction
 OFDM can be viewed as either a modulation
technique or a multiplex technique.
 Modulation technique
 Viewed by the relation between input and
output signals
 Multiplex technique
 Viewed by the output signal which is the
linear sum of the modulated signals

The History of OFDM
 The idea, which was proposed in mid-1960s, used
parallel data transmission and frequency division
multiplexing (FDM) [1,14].
 In the 1960s, the OFDM technique was used in
several high-frequency military system

The History of OFDM
 In 1971,Weinstein and Ebert applied the Discrete Fourier
Transform (DFT) to parallel data transmission systems as
part of modulation and demodulation process[1,4,18].
 FFT-based OFDM
 In the 1980s, OFDM was studied for high-speed modems
digital mobile communication, and high-density recording.
 Pilot tone is used to stabilize carrier and frequency control
 Trellis code is implemented
 COFDM
 In 1980, Hirosaki suggested an equalization algorithm in order
to suppress both intersymbol and intercarrier interference
caused by the channel impulse response or timing and
frequency errors[4,19].
 In 1980. Hirosaki also introduced the DFT-based
implementation of Saltzburg’s O-QAM OFDM system[4,20].

OFDM and Multicarrier Transmission
 OFDM is a special case of multicarrier
transmission , where a single data stream is
transmitted over a number of lower rate
subcarrier[1,4].
 Single carrier transmission
 The concept of single-carrier is that each user transmits
and receives data stream with only one carrier at any time.
 Multicarrier transmission
 The concept of multi-carrier transmission is that a user
can employ a number of carriers to transmit data
simultaneously.

IEEE 802.16
 IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access system [29]
 Broadband wireless access (BWA) is a term referring to a range
of fixed radio systems, used primarily to convey broadband
services between users’ premises and core networks.
 The term “broadband” is usually taken to mean the capability to
deliver significant bandwidth to each user (in ITU terminology,
greater than around 1.5 Mbps, though many BWA networks
support significantly higher data rates).
 A typical BWA network supports connection to many user
premises within a radio coverage area.
 The IEEE 802.16 standard should provides the solution to access
systems based on DSL, cable, and eventually fiber optics.
 The applications of IEEE 802.16
 The range of applications is very wide and evolving quickly. It
includes voice, data and entertainment services of many kinds.
