Low-complexity and MAI-robust wireless broadcasting system with return channel

A combination of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) called orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) is regarded as a promising solution for improving the performance of interactive wireless broadcasting systems. This paper deals with our investigations into improving the performance and reducing the complexity of a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) system with a return channel when OFDMA is used as an access scheme. To alleviate a multiple access interference (MAI) introduced by a symbol timing misalignment, the OFDMA-based DMB system adopts frequency diversity and cyclic suffix (CS) at the transmitter, namely FD-OFDMA DMB system with CS. When the system is fully loaded, in addition to low complexity at the transmitter, the performance of the FD-OFDMA DMB system with the CS comes close to that of a single-user FD-OFDMA system at the cost of a small loss of throughput.
