Abstract

In this work, an efficient interleaving process is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over impulsive noise channels. Unlike the conventional OFDM systems where the interleaving process is implemented before the inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT), the proposed scheme is based on performing the interleaving process post the IDFT. The aim of this process is to average the effect of the impulsive noise burst over a large number of OFDM symbols, which can reduce its impact on the bit error rate (BER) significantly. For the system and channel models considered in the work, simulation results have confirmed that the proposed system can effectively reduce the BER degradation due to the impulsive noise to about 1 dB as compared to the impulsive noise-free case.
