Repeated correlative coding scheme for mitigation of inter-carrier interference in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system

In this study, a repeated correlative coding scheme is proposed to combat the inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by the frequency offset in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. This proposed scheme combine two ideas of the well-known methods, which are the coding of adjacent subcarriers with antipodal of the same data symbol (ICI self-cancellation) and correlative coding. A mathematical expression for the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) by using this proposed repeated correlative coding scheme is derived. The simulated result of CIR for the proposed scheme is significantly improved compared to the correlative coding as well as a self-cancellation scheme. The bit-error-rate (BER) of the proposed scheme is also compared with the ICI self-cancellation scheme and correlative coding scheme, which is comparable to that of the ICI self-cancellation scheme and better than the correlative coding scheme.
