BER assessment of FFT-OFDM against WHT-OFDM over different fading channel.

Wavelets are brought into the wireless communication field as an orthogonal base of multi-carrier modulation and are now considered as a significant measure. Also, wavelets do contain the capability to improve bandwidth efficiency even more along with lower inter-symbol interference and inter-carrier interference. Appropriately, a BER versus SNR analysis is done for fast Fourier transform (FFT) based OFDM framework and wavelet haar transform (WHT) based OFDM framework in this work. The evaluationis demonstrated over Rayleigh and Rician fading channel utilizing dissimilar M-PSK modulation levels intended for FFT-OFDM and WHT-OFDM. The performance of the simulated test-bed is investigated via BER assessment as a function of SNR. The imitation outcome reports a significant improvement in BER of the simulated system using WHT-OFDM in comparison to FFT-OFDM for both Rayleigh and Rician fading channel. Also, the BER performance of both FFT-OFDM and WHT-OFDM is superior in Rician fading channel in comparison to Rayleigh fading channel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
