The European project around the OFDM signals has been developed in France Telecom R&D (actually Orange labs) in Rennes.

System of signals has been simulated under COSSAP system

Multi path propagation models have been used for transmitter – receiver simulations.

Different team worked with multiple annex problems around OFDM signals: turbo coding, source coding, PAPR reduction, efficient equalizers, etc..

Multiple patents (notably on Turbo coding) have been created that time in FT R&D. The centre was well known all around the France and Europe.

The applications of OFDM we can see now almost everywhere: 4G, 5G, WiFi, WLAN, etc.

My participation in project.

The purpose of my mission was diminishing the PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) that is one of the most harmful features of OFDM signal.

The following methods have been investigated by me:

  • Spectral effective envelopes
  •  Clipping and filtering
  • Selective mapping (SLM)
  • Partial transmit sequence (PTS), 
  • Linear block coding (LBC)
  • Peak insertion (PI)

Environment and techniques used in project

Environment: C, Matlab, COSSAP, simulation chains

Techniques : channel, coding, OFDM, digital filtering

Main results:

PAPR has been reduced on 2..5 dB for some modulation cases.
