  • An Experimental Study of ICI Cancellation in OFDM Utilizing GNU Radio System
    ICWMC 2011 : The Seventh International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Communications An Experimental Study of ICI Cancellation in OFDM Utilizing GNU Radio System Miftahur Rahman, Sajjadul Latif, and Tasnia Ahad Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science North South University Dhaka, Bangladesh e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract— Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) is an effect that technique used; Section VIII explains software and hardware noticeably degrades the quality of the Orthogonal Frequency setup; Section IX describes the data retrieval process; Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal. In this work, several Section X analyses the results; Section XI discusses the proposed ICI cancellation schemes have been tested using open future scope of the technology and Section XII makes the source Software Defined Radio (SDR) named GNU Radio. The concluding remarks. GNU Radio system used in the experiment had one Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) module connected to a II. OFDM MODULATION & DEMODULATION computer. The USRP had two-daughterboard (RFX-400) for both transmission and reception of radio signals in the 400 OFDM is a technique as shown in Fig. 1, where the input MHz band. The input data to the USRP was prepared in data is converted to parallel bits and mapped according to compliance with IEEE-802.11b specification. The experimental predefined standard [9]. Inverse Fast Fourier Transform results were compared with the theoretical results of the (IFFT) is a vital part to convert signal from frequency proposed Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) cancellation domain to time domain. After IFFT the parallel data is again schemes.
