Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the transmission performance of Multi-Carrier Modulation (MCM) in frequencyselective fast Rayleigh fading channels. First, we optimize the transmission parameters of MCM withM-ary differential phase shift keying/differential detection (DPSK):the guard duration andthe number of sub-carriers for frequency-selective fast Rayleigh fading channels, and then show the bit error rate (BER) performance of the optimizedM-ary DPSK MCM. Next, we propose an MCM with pilot-assistedM-ary quadrature amplitude modulation/coherent detection (QAM), and discuss the BER performance when we reduce the number of pilot signals from the view-point of frequency-time utilization efficiency. Finally, we propose a two-stage frequency offset compensation method.
