An OFDM with 3-D Signal Mapper and 2-D IDFT Modulator

초록

In this letter, a novel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is introduced. Here, a three-dimensional (3-D) signal mapper and two-dimensional (2-D) inverse discrete Fourier transform are used to allocate 3-D signals to OFDM subchannels and to modulate the signals, respectively. The minimum Euclidean distance of the 3-D mapper is much farther than that of the 2-D mapper if both mappers consisting of the same number of signal points are normalized to have the same average power. As a result, the proposed OFDM has significantly improved error performance when compared to the conventional one.
