Abstract

In this paper we considered OFDM schemes that somehow have a nonlinear operation on their transmission chain. Contrary to the conventional OFDM implementations, we consider the distortion term that come from that operation as something useful that has information on the transmitted signals. To efficiently harvest this information, we develop an optimum-based receiver that presents good performance improvements without introduce very high complexities. The performance of this sub-optimal receiver is investigated under different types of channel and considering receive diversity.
