Abstract
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a multi-carrier modulation
(MCM) scheme where the sub carriers are orthogonal waves. The main
advantages of OFDM are robustness against multi-path fading, frequency
selective fading, narrowband interference, and efficient use of spectrum.
Recently it is proved that MCM system optimization can be achieved by applying
wavelet bases instead of conventional fourier bases. Wavelet packet based MCM
(WPMCM) systems have overall the same capabilities as OFDM systems with
some improved features. In this research the literature and analytic schemes of
WPMCM system is addressed, a wavelet packet based cognitive ultra wideband
(UWB) transceiver is proposed, and performance analysis of WPMCM in different
wireless multipath channels is investigated. Simulation results show a significant
enhancement in terms of spectral efficiency, side-lobes suppression and BER
comparing to conventional OFDM.
Keywords: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), wavelet packet based MCM (WPMCM),
cognitive radio (CR), ultra wideband (UWB).
1. INTRODUCTION
Adaptive multi-carrier modulation (MCM) has a flexible spectrum to avoid mutual interference to
other users [1]-[3]. MCM increases wireless capacity without increasing bandwidth. It divides
data-stream into orthogonal parallel modulated sub-streams with lower bit rate and longer symbol
time than the channel delay spread. Increasing the symbol duration leads to a robust system
against ISI, channel distortion, impulse noise and fading. In wavelet packet based MCM (WPMCM)
systems, the orthogonality is provided by orthogonal wavelet filters (filter banks) [4], and the real
wavelet transform converts real numbers to real numbers, hence the complexity of computation is
reduced. Moreover, its longer basis functions offers higher degree of side lobe suppression and
decreases the effects of narrowband interference, ISI, and ICI [5]. OFDM signals only overlap in
the frequency domain while the wavelet packet signals overlap in both, time and frequency. Due

to time overlapping, WPMCM systems don’t use cyclic prefix (CP) or any kind of guard interval
(GI) that is commonly used in OFDM systems. This enhances the bandwidth efficiency comparing
to conventional OFDM systems [6].
Cognitive ultra wideband (UWB) has to exploit variety of spectral opportunity, perform pulse
shaping, and adapt its data rate, bandwidth, and transmit power. In a cognitive communication
scenario the primary and the cognitive user are subjected to mutual interference when
communicate to different receivers (Figure 1), and cognitive radio (CR) needs to avoid or cancel
the interference. WPMCM is proposed as a solution for cognitive UWB challenges.
FIGURE 1: A possible arrangement of the primary and secondary receivers, base stations are indicated as
Bp and Bs, respectively.
In this paper, the properties of WPMCM system and mathematical scheme are represented,
power spectrum and BER are investigated by simulation results, and WPMCM is proposed for
cognitive UWB systems. The remainder sections are organized as follows. Section 2 is related
works on wavelet based MCM systems. Wavelet packet based MCM properties are described in
section 3. System description and analytical relations are provided in section 4. In section 5,
cognitive UWB transceiver design is proposed, and simulation results and discussion are
described in section 6. We summarize the research in section 7.
2. RELATED WORKS
There is a considerable literature addressing the use of WPMCM and its performance evaluation
comparing with conventional method. A closed form formula in [7] is derived to define
convolution’s counterpart in the wavelet domain, and a wavelet based multicarrier modulation
framework presented by discrete wavelet transform (DWT) Mallat’s algorithm. Performance
analysis of IEEE 802.15.3a channel models for multiband UWB proved that the overhead and
the transceiver structure for the WB-MUWB are less complex than those for the FB-MUWB;
therefore DWT could be considered as an attractive technique in future multicarrier UWB
systems.
In [8] authors studied symbol error rate (SER) of both conventional OFDM and Gabor basis
WPMCM in AWGN channel for fast intercity trains, and showed that this new technique with a
moderate complexity avoids the spectral efficiency loss. Testing this technique in more realistic
channels is an idea to continue their research. For radar applications, Mohseni et.al in [9]
replaced the conventional OFDM multicarrier modulation with the WPMCM in order to get a more
flexible signal design approach. These designed radar signals have very low side lobe levels in
their ambiguity functions and high spectral efficiency. The requirements imposed in the design of
usable wavelets and wavelet packets for multicarrier modulation are studied in [10]. According to
this article, for perfect reconstruction of data the wavelets have to satisfy bi-orthogonal property.
Another real time application of the system is reported in [11] where WPMCM for V-BLAST [12]
(vertical Bell laboratories layered space time) is discussed. According to [11] the bit error rate

(BER) performance of the wavelet based V-BLAST system is superior to their Fourier based
counterparts.
The major drawback of MCM systems is the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem. High
peaks of the transmitted signal drive the power amplifiers operating near nonlinear saturation
regions which degrade the power efficiency and system performance. Hence, it is necessary to
transmit signals with lower PAPR because of operating range of power amplifiers. In [13] authors
reported reducing in PAPR by a Haar WPMCM system with Hadamard spreading codes.
WPMCM system is also sensitive to time synchronization errors resulting from its overlapping
symbols in the time domain. OFDM can easily exploit CP to reduce the effects of timing error or
dispersive channel. Furthermore, the ISI in OFDM is generated by overlapping of two successive
symbols, while in the case of WPMCM, ISI is generated by overlapping of a number of
consecutive symbols. Hence, WPMCM is very sensitive to even small timing differences between
transmitter and receiver. In [14] the performance of wavelet packet modulation (WPM) systems
using several well known wavelets in the presence of timing offset is compared with OFDM. As a
future work authors proposed to design wavelet and scaling filters that would minimize the
interference energy from timing error. They also suggested using complex wavelets to reduce
WPM time shift sensitivity, and designing a robust synchronization scheme to tackle large timing
offsets.
Channel estimation is another challenge to be tackled by researchers. In traditional OFDM
system, channel estimation is performed by pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) with pilot
interpolation in time domain or frequency domain. More pilots, lower bandwidth efficiency and
higher system complexity. The channel estimation issue for WPM system has been addressed in
[15] and a novel pilot arrangement is designed based on wavelet packet theory for WPM system
to achieve higher speed transmission with lower bit error rates. In [5] channel estimation for WPM
is surveyed and indicated that ANNs (Artificial Neural Networks) method is more proper than
LMMSE estimation. As their future work, authors proposed development of wavelet theory and
post- equalization to cancel the interference caused by overlapping symbols.
3. WAVELET PACKET BASED MCM FEATURES
The wavelet basis functions are localized in time (or space) and frequency, and have different
resolutions in these domains. Wavelet transforms are broadly classified as continuous and
discrete wavelet transforms. The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) of a continuous signal x (t)
is defined as the sum of all time of the signal multiplied by scaled, shifted versions of the wavelet
waveforms. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) analyzes the signal at different frequency bands
with different resolutions by decomposing the signal into an approximation containing coarse and
detailed information. DWT employs two sets of functions, known as scaling and wavelet
functions, which are associated with low pass and high pass filters. The decomposition of the
signal into different frequency bands is simply obtained by successive high pass and low pass
filtering of the time domain signal. Wavelet packet transform (WPT) decomposes the high
frequency bands which are kept intact in the DWT; hence it obtains richer resolution. Some
advantages of wavelet transform are described as follows.
3.1. Multi-rate Property
The main property of the WPT is the semi-arbitrary division of the signal space. WPT still leads to
a set of orthogonal functions, even if the construction iterations are not repeated for all sub-
branches. From a multicarrier communication system perspective, this maps into having
subcarriers of different bandwidths and symbol length to create a multi-rate system and enhance
the quality of service (QoS) of wireless systems.
3.2. Configurable Transform Size
The iterative nature of the wavelet transform allows for a configurable transform size and hence a
configurable number of carriers. This facility can be used, for instance, to reconfigure a
transceiver according to a given communication protocol; the transform size could be selected

according to the channel impulse response characteristics, computational complexity or link
quality.
3.3. Noise and Interference Suppression
By flexible time-frequency resolution, the effect of noise and interference on the signal can be
minimized. Wavelet based systems are capable of avoiding known channel disturbances at the
transmitter, rather than waiting to cancel them at the receiver. In [16] a WPMCM transmission
system, for multi-rate integrated service is demonstrated. The performance of this system under
impulse noise and single tone interference is reported to be superior to existing Fourier based
variants. WPT digital modulated signals are mapped into their own Time-Frequency Atoms (t-f
atoms) which will be utilized in multiplexing of transport orthogonally. Tone interference and
impulse noise cause distributed effects in the WPM system.
3.4. Robustness against ISI and ICI
The performance of MCM system depends on the set of waveforms that the carriers use. The
wavelet scheme reduces the sensitivity of the system to harmful channel effects like Inter-symbol
interference (ISI) and Inter-carrier interference (ICI). Authors in [18] replaced the fourier-based
complex exponential carriers of a multicarrier system with orthonormal wavelets. The wavelets
are derived from a multistage tree-structured Haar and Daubechies orthonormal quadrature
mirror filter (QMF) bank. The authors in [17] compared both OFDM and WPMCM in the context of
PLCs and proved that WPMCM has higher transmission efficiency, deeper notches, robustness
to narrowband interference (NBI) or impulsive noise, and lower circuit cost as fewer carriers than
in conventional or windowed OFDM can be used. An improved performance with respect to
reduction of the power of ISI and ICI is reported in Table 1 that makes comparison between
orthonormal Haar wavelets and conventional OFDM. This work is extended in [19] with
empirical investigations on a model obtained from the measurements of a practical high speed
and low-voltage power line communication channel (PLC), the research exhibits superiority of
WPMCM to traditional OFDM especially regarding to ISI and ICI mitigation.

The relationship between the number of iterations J and the number of carrier waveforms M is
given by H Ŷ .
In the wavelet packet scheme, we limit our analysis to subcarrier waveforms defined through a
set of FIR filters, and implemented by Mallat’s fast algorithm [21] with less complexity for wireless
communication. In orthogonal wavelet systems, quadrature mirror filter pair (QMF) consists of the
scaling filter ˨ and dilatation filter ˨ , and knowledge of the scaling filter and wavelet tree
depth is sufficient to design the wavelet transform. The scaling filter ˨ and dilatation filter ˨ ,
and the corresponding reversed filters ˨ and ˨ , are used to form a wavelet packet tree.
These filters satisfy following conditions:

The carrier waveforms are obtained by iteratively filtering the signal into high and low frequency
components. The waveforms {J{ are derived by J successive iterations as the following

The type of WPT algorithm depends on the choice of mother wavelet, the number of levels of
expansion, and signal specifications such as periodic, non-periodic, extended and finite WPT.
Time and frequency domain localizations are not independent and a waveform with higher
frequency domain localization can be obtained with longer time support. Furthermore, short
duration waveforms have shorter symbol duration than the channel coherence time, limit the
modulation-demodulation delay, and require less memory and less computation.
For the evaluation of a wireless channel, we assume a channel H, with L multi-paths, H
{˨{Ŵ{ ˨{ŵ{ ˨{ˬ{ ˨{H . ŵ{{ and received signal at the output of the channel can be written as:

5. TRANSCEIVER DESIGN
Our proposed WPMCM System framework including channel state information (CSI) feedback is
illustrated in figures 3. The information bits are firstly grouped and mapped into MPSK or M-QAM.
Then the serial data stream is transformed to N parallel lines, where N is the number of
subcarriers which is dependent on channel state. So pilots can be inserted into the N lines of
signals with particular pilot arrangement strategy, then obtained N lines of signals can be
modulated through inverse wavelet packet modulation (IWPM). In the receiver time and
frequency diversity are exploited in the system, the maximal ratio combining (MRC) technique is
used to combine different diversity branches.
FIGURE 3: Cognitive multiband UWB transceiver via WPMCM.
A multiband UWB system is provided with symbols of duration T, bandwidth 528 MHZ, and 128
samples to be transmitted in different sub-bands. For the wavelet based system cyclic prefix is
replaced by data bits. Multiple-access can be introduced in the form of time-frequency hopping
codes similar to multiband OFDM. Wavelet packet basis and filter pairs are selected due to the
type of system application. In the case of MCM, wavelet packet bases are time limited and
smooth, well confined in frequency, and orthogonal or linearly independent.
6. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In simulation part, we consider 128 wavelet packet equally spaced carriers to be adaptively
deactivated for transmission spectrum shaping according to the primary users band (Figure 4).

We assume a WPMCM system which is presented in Figure 5. The information bits are firstly
modulated by 16-QAM constellation mapping. Then the serial data stream is transformed to 128
parallel subcarrier lines, pilot symbols are inserted and signals are modulated through IWPT. For
the wavelet packet based system, cyclic prefix is replaced by data bits. At the receiver side, the
zero forcing equalizer is provided to compensate the effects of channel distortion and WPT block
is applied for demodulation of data.
FIGURE 5: WPMCM transceiver for simulation.
In conventional OFDM large side-lobes result in out-of-band (OOB) radiations, thus, coexistence
of primary and secondary users depends on side-lobes suppression. Figures 6(a) compares
power spectrum density (PSD) of conventional OFDM and WPMCM. According to the graphs,
WPMCM enhances the side-lobes suppression effectively accompanied by high spectral
efficiency caused by removing the cyclic prefix. These figures illustrate that the occupied
bandwidth of WPMCM is far less than OFDM. PSD of zero-padded WPMCM shown in figure 6(b)
has minor side-lobes improvement comparing to WPMCM.
Simulation results of Figures 7(a, b and c) compare the bit error rate (BER) of conventional
OFDM and WPMCM signal with 1 level wavelet packet tree with Sym4 family, versus the Signal-
to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in the presence of different channel conditions. According to the Figure
7(a), WPMCM signal has almost the same BER as conventional OFDM, but for zero-padded
WPMCM the BER is lower and performance is improved for all channel conditions with the cost of
spectral efficiency. For zero padded WPMCM in AWGN channel, improvement at BER of ŵŴ &
is
1dB with respect to conventional OFDM. In the two next cases, (Figures 7b,7c), we consider a
two taps channel with additional AWGN effect and zero forcing equalizer in the receiver. Figure
7(b) shows that both WPMCM and zero-padded WPMCM have better BER comparing to OFDM
for SNR higher than 15 dB. The performance improvement at ŵŴ %
is 6 dB and 7 dB for WPMCM
and zero padded WPMCM respectively. In figure 7(c), BER performance doesn’t change
significantly with various choices of wavelet filter families, but at high SNR situation, two level
wavelet packet trees represent superior performances to one level wavelet packet trees.

7. CONCLUSION
In this research wavelet packet based multicarrier modulation is recommended for cognitive
multiband UWB systems as an efficient solution to meet adaptive and cognitive goals. Literature
is surveyed, and analytical approach of WPMCM transceiver is addressed. Power spectrum
density graphs shows that WPMCM has high spectral efficiency accompanied by significant side-
lobes suppression. Finally we investigated the BER performance and power spectral density of
WPMCM under different channel models and wavelet families. BER improvement is achieved by
WPMCM comparing to the conventional OFDM. As future work, we compare the conventional
OFDM and wavelet based MCM-UWB systems under standard IEEE 802.15.3a channel models
(CM1-CM4) for wireless personal area networks (WPAN). Study on narrowband interference
mitigation of WPMCM UWB systems is the next open contribution.
