Spectrally efficient OFDM system and its possible use in cognitive radios

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is generally known as an effective technique for high bit rate applications such as digital audio broadcasting (DAB), digital video broadcasting (DVB), digital high-definition television (HDTV) broadcasting and wireless local area networks (Wireless...

Karthik DRNTU::Engineering::Electrical and electronic engineering::Electronic systems Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is generally known as an effective technique for high bit rate applications such as digital audio broadcasting (DAB), digital video broadcasting (DVB), digital high-definition television (HDTV) broadcasting and wireless local area networks (Wireless LANs), since it can prevent intersymbol interference (ISI) by inserting a guard interval and can mitigate frequency selectivity of a multipath channel using a simple one-tap equalizer.

In cognitive radio, the secondary users can sense the spectrum and when the primary users are silent, they borrow the licensed bands of the primary users.
