ABSTRACT
In communication systems, Multiple input Multiple output (MIMO) antenna systems with
orthogonal frequency division multi-ple acess (OFDMA) is the most promising combination of
technologies for high data rate services in next generation wireless networks. In MIMO systems,
multiple antennas are used in both transmitter and receiver to improve the communication
performance, whereas the orthogonal frequency division multiple acess (OFDMA) is a multicarrier
multiple acess method. MIMO-OFDMA is commonly used for communication systems due to its
high transmission rates and robustness against multipath fading. Performance assessment of multi-
cell systems based on these technologies is of crucial importance in the deployment of broadband
wireless standards such as WiMAX and 3GPP, LTE. This paper presents a vivid view of recent
trends and developments in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). In this
paper we will discuss the basics of OFDM techniques, role of OFDM in this era, its benefits and
losses and also some of its application. This paper discusses the structure and implementation of
an OFDMA modem employed in wireless communication. Orthogonal rate of recurrence Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) is just about the latest modulation techniques used so that you can combat
the frequency-selectivity from the transmission channels, achieving substantial data rate without
inter-symbol disturbance. In this paper, we present a study of various interference effects in a
MIMO-OFDMA system and their compensation techniques. In this paper, we present a
comprehensive survey on MIMO OFDMA for wireless communications.

 A Review Paper on Performance Analysis of MIMO Based of DMA System Under Fading Channel

1. INTRODUCTION
The recent very high demand for multimedia services in wireless communication systems requires high
transmission rates. But this will result in frequency selective fading and inter-symbol interference (ISI).
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a communication technology used in WLANS.
The basic idea of OFDM is to divide the available spectrum into several orthogonal sub channels so that
each narrowband sub channel experiences almost flat fading allowing sub channels in the frequency
domain thus increasing the transmission rate [1]-[2]. In OFDMA distinct sub-carriers are assigned to
different users for simultaneous transmission. Multiple users share the bandwidth simultaneously. Hence
the users and the base station in the OFDMA system are required to be synchronous in frequency domain.
Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) has been selected for next generation wireless
systems for its flexibility and scalability.
Scope of the Research: The migration to 4G networks will bring a new level of expectations to wireless
communications. Just as the digital wireless revolution in the 1990s made mobile phones available for
everyone, the higher speeds and packet delivery of 4G networks will make high-quality multimedia
available everywhere. The key to achieving this higher level of service delivery is a new air interface,
OFDMA, which is in turn enabled by the high level of performance offered by a new generation of
advanced DSPs. By dividing a given amount of spectrum into numerous small subcarriers, OFDMA
provides a robust signal that requires relatively little power yet uses bandwidth very efficiently. Carriers
will benefit from greater flexibility by using OFDMA, since in the same spectrum they will be able to offer
more channels, including higher-bandwidth channels, with more types of services. Currently these systems
are still being defined and prototyped but significant pieces of 4G technology are already in place and the
changeover to a new level of expectations in wireless communications will be underway soon.
The pushing demand of broadband transmission for high throughput services makes OFDMA with
multi-antenna (or multiple input multiple output - MIMO) systems the most versatile and efficient solution
for high spectral efficiency requirements. Nowadays, different commercial solutions employing the
OFDMA technology are under development, such as the IEEE Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave
Access (WiMAX) [1] and the Long Term Evolution (LTE) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP) [2]. These high data-rate systems are expected to operate in heterogeneous environments. The
historical roadmap dates back from the early 60s with the idea of using frequency division multiplexing
with overlapping sub channels performance of an efficient parallel data transmission system to refer the
OFDM system. During the 80s, 90s coded OFDM (COFDM) has been investigated for digital video
broadcasting (DVB) as first application. OFDM is an efficient modulation scheme for broadband wireless
communications. OFDM is being commercially applied for wireless local area networks. The advantage of
OFDM includes robustness and high spectral efficiency. The pushing demand of broad band transmission
for high throughput services makes OFDMA with multi antenna (or MIMO) systems. The paper is
organized as follows: We start with basic discrete system model in Section II. We present a discussion on
Performance Analysis of MIMO based OFDMA System under Fading Channel in Section III. We present
literature survey on Performance Analysis of MIMO based OFDMA System in Section IV. Conclusion and
future extensions are given in Section V.

2. SYSTEM MODEL
Basic System model for uplink OFDMA
We consider an uplink OFDMA system with K users as shown in Fig. 1, where each user communicates
with a BS through an independent multipath channel. We assume that there are N subcarriers in each
OFDM symbol and one subcarrier can be allocated to only one user. The information symbol for the uth
user on the kth subcarrier is denoted by X ku , k Su , where S u is the set of subcarriers assigned to the uth

user, and E X ku = 1 . Where E [.] denotes the expectation operator. Then U Ku=1 Su = {0,1,..., N 1} and

The length of the cyclic prefix added is N g sampling periods, and is assumed to be longer than the
maximum channel delay spread, L 1, normalized by the sampling period (i.e., N g L 1 ). After IDFT
processing and cyclic prefix insertion at the transmitter, the time-domain sequence of the user, xnu , is given

The uth users signal at the receiver input, after passing through the channel, in the case of perfect
synchronization, is given by

where * denotes linear convolution and hnu is the uth users channel impulse response. It is assumed
that hnu is non-zero only for n = 0,...,L1, and that all users channels are statistically independent. We
assume that hnu s are i.i.d. complex Gaussian with zero mean and E ( hnu, I ) = E ( hnu,Q ) = 1 / 2 L , where

TOs (where M is the number of subcarriers allotted to each user). To reduce this computational
complexity, we adopt an approximate method to compute the BER (involving only a single integral), as
outlined in the next section.

3. MIMO OFDMA
When generated OFDM signal is transmitted through a number of antennas in order to achieve diversity or
cap any gain (higher transmission rate) then it is known as MIMO-OFDM as shown in figure 1. The
different types of multiplexing techniques are shown in figure 2 where the MIMO-OFDMA is used for the
4G mobile communication systems. In this thesis, I will explore the performance of MIMO-OFDMA
system under fading environment. Like any other communication system MIMO-OFDM system also has
transmitter and receiver but the antennas are more than one both at transmit and receive end. MIMO
system can be implemented in various ways, if we need to take the diversity advantage to combat fading
then we need to send the same signals through various MIMO antennas and at the receiving end all the
signals received by MIMO antennas will receive the same signals traveled through various path. In this
case the entire received signal must pass through un-correlated channels. If we are inserted to use MIMO
for capacity increase then we can send different set of data (not the same set of data like diversity MIMO)
via a number of antennas and the same number of antennas will receive the signals in the receiving end.
For MIMO to be efficient antenna spacing need to be done very carefully- at least half the wave length of
the transmitting signal.
OFDMA is a multiple-access scheme that has characteristics of OFDM and frequency-division
multiple access. OFDM transmits data from one user within a time slot, whereas OFDMA simultaneously
transmits data for MUs. Inherited from OFDM, OFDMA is also immune against multipath and has other
favorable characteristics. OFDMA was proposed for several broadband wireless systems such as the LTE
downlink of cellular systems [4], IEEE802.16 standards for wireless metropolitan area network, and digital
video broadcasting return channel terrestrial [5].In OFDMA, the entire bandwidth is divided into a number
of subchannels for parallel transmission of symbols from different users. How to assign subchannels to
each user is an important issue and greatly influences the system performance. There are two schemes of
the carrier assignment scheme: 1) the subband scheme and 2) the interleaved scheme. In the subband
scheme, a group of adjacent subchannels is allocated to the same user, whereas in the interleaved scheme,
uniformly spaced subchannels are allocated to the same user. The interleaved scheme can obtain frequency
diversity, whereas channel estimation is easier for the subband scheme. Therefore, the interleaved scheme
is preferable for fixed wireless communications, where channel slowly changes with time and channel
estimation is easier than fast time-varying channels. The synchronization issues of OFDMA are
summarized in [6]. For wireless links with channel feedback for adaptive subchannel/subcarrier allocation,
the subband scheme requires less information for channel feedback [7], [8]. By adaptive subchannel
allocation in OFDMA, the system capacity can significantly be increased, as shown in [9] and [10]. The
performance of uplink OFDMA depends to a large extent on how well the orthogonality among different

http://www.iaeme.com/IJECET/index.asp 35 editor@iaeme.com
 D. Lalitha Kumari and Prof. M. N. Giri Prasad

subcarriers is maintained at the receiver. Factors including i) timing offsets (TO) of different users caused
due to path delay differences between different users and imperfect timing synchronization, and ii) carrier
frequency offsets (CFO) of different users induced by Doppler effects and/or poor oscillator alignments,
can destroy the orthogonality among subcarriers at the receiver and cause multiuser interference (MUI).
MIMO OFDMA system is used for high data rate services in wireless communication networks. Here
multi cell systems developed based on broadband wireless standards such as Wi-MAX and 3GPP LTE.
Beam forming systems with Coordinated Scenario is used for mitigation of stationary interference and
Diversity model with Randomized interference is used for Non-Stationary interference. The analytical
frame work for bit error probability of multi cell bit interleaved convolution coded system. With improved
multimedia services such as video conferencing, video streaming the demand for data rate communication
with a high speed has been increased. MIMO-OFDMA fulfils that demand. But there is a problem of
resource allocation in MIMO-OFDMA. The user needs different power levels when he moves from and to
the antenna. For example, less power is required for the user when he is near to the antenna and large
power is required for him when he is far from the antenna. But the problem is the user has been allocated a
fixed power level which doesnt vary with respect to the distance. Moreover a user with high transmitting
power is the only one detected at the base station and no user with low transmitting power is detected.
Performance of the cellular system can be enhanced with the power control strategy. Hence power control
has significant effect on both performance and capacity. In cellular system downlink power control was far
less sophisticated than uplink power control, resulting in the downlink capacity being more constrained
than uplink [9,10]. Depending on propagation conditions, the mobile may receive a power control
command that indicates at what power level the mobile should transmit. However, the losses of uplink and
downlink are unsymmetric because Rayleigh fading is frequency selective. To overcome this, a closed-
loop power control is required to vary the transmitted power by the mobile. With this it can receive an
equal Eb/N0 from all mobiles. However, with the existence of a multipath fading environment, it is useful
to add another power control mechanism to adjust the desired Eb/N0 level according to the mobile's error
rate measured at the bases station- this is known as the outer loop power control.
Uplink power control serves the following functions:
It equals the received power level from all mobiles at the base station. This function is important for system
operation. The better the power control, the greater the Reduction in cochannel Interference and thus,
increase in capacity.
It also reduces the necessary transmission power level to achieve better quality of service. This minimizes
the cochannel interference, which improves the system capacity.
Uplink power control achieves the above functions through the following mechanisms: 1.Open loop
power control, and 2. Closed loop power control, which can be sub-divided into-

(a) closed outer loop power control, and (b) closed inner loop power control.
The combination of STBC with OFDM, termed STBC-OFDM was first proposed by Agrawal in [1].
Following this development, various researchers have focused on designs for scenarios where the channel
is assumed to be known at the receiver, for example, the designs proposed in [2]. Which indicate that the
combination of MIMO techniques with OFDM [3] improves the transmission rate, range and reliability.

B. Generalized STBC System Model

STBC is regarded as the generalization of the Alamouti coding. Tarokh et al generalized STBC to an
arbitrary number of transmit and receive antennas in [3]. STBC can achieve full rate and full diversity
which as stated earlier is specified by the number of different symbols to transmit and the number of time
slots required to transmit the entire STBC block. In addition, STBC allows very simple decoding algorithm
based on the ML decoding described in the previous Subsection. Fig (1) shows a block diagram of the
generalised STBC communication link. Like Alamouti case, data is first mapped by a 2k points modulator
resulting in ns data symbols passed to the STBC encoder. At the receiver, the data is decoded with the

http://www.iaeme.com/IJECET/index.asp 36 editor@iaeme.com
 A Review Paper on Performance Analysis of MIMO Based of DMA System Under Fading Channel

STBC decoder that contains channel estimator, combiner and ML detector. Based on the type of
modulation used, STBC uses either real or complex constellation. STBC with real constellation is Pulse
Amplitude Modulation (PAM) or Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) signal, and with complex-
constellation is M-PSK or M-QAM signal.

Performance of Space-time Block Codes

The performance of space-time block codes depends on the type of modulation and the number of transmit
and receive antennas used. Complex modulations give better bit-error-rate performance than real
modulations and it is especially true when the number of transmit antennas is more than 1. However,
space-time block code with real modulation would have better bandwidth efficiency performance than
complex modulation. This is because space-time block codes with real modulation require transmitting less
data than space-time block codes with complex modulation. On the other hand, space-time block codes
with two number of transmit antennas always give better performance because it transmits more data. This
would give the receiver the ability to recover the transmitted data. Moreover, with larger number of receive
antennas, the same transmitted data would be received by more than one receive antenna. This is an
advantage because if one receive antenna did not recover the transmitted data correctly, the second receive
antenna could. The chance that at least one out of two receive antennas would receive the transmitted data
uncorrupted is always higher than if there is only one receive antenna.

C. Receiver structures

The zero forcing approach tries to find a matrix U which satisfies UH=I. The Zero Forcing (ZF) linear
detector for meeting this constraint is given by,

 D. Lalitha Kumari and Prof. M. N. Giri Prasad

Taking one of the estimated symbols (for example s2 ) and subtracting its effect from the received vector y1
and y2 we get

r1 y1 h1,2 s2 h1,1s1 + w1
r = y h s = h s + w
2 2 2,2 2 2,1 1 2
.
Expressing in matrix notation,

r1 h1,1 w1
r = h s1 + w
2 2,1 2
r=h s1 +w
The equalized symbol is,

hH r
s1 =
hH h
Following Similar procedure the estimate of s2 is also obtained.

Zero Forcing Equalization with Optimally ordered Successive Interference Cancellation

In classical Successive Interference Cancellation, the receiver arbitrarily takes one of the estimated symbols,
and subtract its effect from the received symbol y1 and y2 . However, we can intelligently choose the order
in which the symbol effect is subtracted. This is done based on the powers of the received symbols in
which the symbol with higher power is subtracted first and then the other [7][8].
The received power at the both the antennas corresponding to the transmitted symbol s1 is,
2 2
Ps1 = h1,1 + h2,1 .
The received power at the both the antennas corresponding to the transmitted symbol s2 is,
2 2
Ps2 = h1,2 + h2,2
If Ps1 > Ps2 then the receiver decides to remove the effect of s1 from the received vector y1 and y2 and
then re-estimate s2 . Else the receiver decides to subtract effect of s2 from the received vector y1 and y2, and
then re-estimate s1 .

MMSE equalization with optimaly ordered

Using the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalization, the receiver can obtain an estimate of the two
transmitted symbols s1, s2, given by

s1 1 y1
s = H H + N 0 I y

2 2
If Ps1 > Ps2 then the receiver decides to remove the effect of s1 from the received vector y1 and y2 and
then re-estimate s2 . Else the receiver decides to subtract effect of s2 from the received vector y1 and y2, and
then re-estimate s1 .

y h1.1 h1.2 s1
J = 1
y2 h2.1 h2,2 s2
Since the modulation is BPSK, the possible values of s1 and s2 are +1 or -1. So, to find the Maximum
Likelihood solution, we need to find the minimum from the all four combinations of s1 and s2.

D. Observations
The BER performance of 2 transmit 2 receive alamouti case is much better than 1 transmit 2 receive MRC
case. This is because the effective channel concatenating the information from 2 receive antennas over two
symbols results in a diversity order of 4. The improvement is brought in, because decoding of the
information from the first spatial dimension (s1) has a lower error probability than that of the symbol
transmitted from the second dimension. The BER curve with ZF equalization for 22 MIMO channel is
identical to BER plot for 1 transmit 1 receive system. The Zero Forcing equalizer is not the best possible
way to equalize the received symbol. The zero forcing equalizer helps us to achieve the data rate gain, but
can not take the advantage of diversity gain (as we have two receive antennas). Compared to the case of
Zero Forcing equalization alone, addition of successive interference cancellation results in around 2.2dB of
improvement for BER of 10-3. Ordered variant of successive interference cancellation shows better
performance than the simple successive interference cancellation. Compared to the case of Zero Forcing
equalizer , at BER of 10-3, it can be seen that the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizer
results in around 3dB of improvement. Successive interference cancellation with optimal ordering
improves the performance with Zero Forcing equalization. Compared to the case of Minimum Mean
Square Equalization with simple successive interference cancellation, addition of optimal ordering results
in around 5.0dB of improvement for BER of 10-3. MMSE equalization with ordered successive
interference cancellation provides performance which is slightly poorer than ML shown in figure 2.
Many simulations have been done on the performance of different space-time block codes using
different types of modulation schemes and different numbers of transmit and receive antennas. In our
simulation on the different implementations of space-time block codes, the channel coefficients are always
assumed flat Rayleigh. From the figure 3, we can see the performance of space-time block codes using
QPSK, and BPSK modulation schemes. The bit-error-rate performance of the system using BPSK
modulation is better than the performance of space-time block codes using QPSK modulation by
approximately 3~4 dB. The performance of space-time block codes using two transmitters and two
receivers shows better than the performance of space-time block codes using two transmitters and one
receiver antenna by approximately 7~8 dB.

5. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

In this paper we have briefly described OFDM, OFDMA and MIMO for wireless communications. We
introduced related modulation scheme OFDM and access schemes OFDMA. We also summarized the
types of MIMO for modulation and access schemes. MIMO OFDMA technique to improve the capacity
and diversity in cellular systems. This paper reviews based on literature study that OFDMA is much better
suited to a multipath channel than the usual single carrier transmission method such as16-QAM. The desire
for high data rate wireless communication have been increasing drastically throughout the last decade. This
paper has looked into the role of MIMO- OFDMA within the wireless communication and it is advantages
over single provider transmission. There are also a few limitations of this technique which is often
removed with the guide of suitable techniques.
In this review paper, we presented a study of various interference effects in a MIMO-OFDM system
and their compensation techniques. Among the techniques discussed, most of them use estimation and
compensation process using either pilot symbols or preamble. The different forms of interferences have
been studied extensively individually but joint consideration of all interferences has not been studied so far
in literature. Hence an efficient algorithm has to be framed which takes into account all the interferences
and is a part of our future work.
