6. SIMULATED PARAMETERS AND RESULTS
Figure 8 Simulation of OFDM transceiver
The simulation model for OFDM is shown in above Figure 8, this model is used to calculate BER and data rate. Data
rates up to 960 Mbps have been achieved. This data rate is been calculated using above simulink model.
6.1 Analysis of BER for various values of SNR
To obtain the bit error rate performance over additive and multipath fading channels the parameters depicted in Table 3
have been assumed for modulation, channel coding and FFT size.
Table 3: Simulation parameters
Parameters Type/Value
Data rate 900Mbps-100Mbps
No. of carrier 1024
FFT Size 1024
Constellation Mapping QPSK
SNR range 0-10
MIMO Technique 8X8 Spatial Mutiplexing
Symbol duration 102.4s
Length of Cyclic Prefix 1/8 of Symbol duration
(12.8s)
Channel Coding convolutional coder
Channels Model Rayleigh & Rician
The measure of performance used is bit error rate versus signal-to-noise ratio. The simulation contains a 1024
subcarrier OFDM system. Constellation mapping or message modulation is performed using quadrature phase shift
keying (QPSK). The Rician & Rayleigh channel model is used for this study. Performance enhancement is done for the
proposed system using MATLAB simulation. In communication systems, information bits are typically grouped into a
frame or packet and transmitted to receiver. The received packet may be lost or include errors because of a noisy
channel for transmitting the data. The bit error rate (BER) is the percentage of received bits that include an error. BER
in a coded system depends on the ratio of the bit energy to noise spectrum density (SNR). Bit Error Rate (BER) is the
basic parameter to access the quality of any digital transmission and quality measurement of recovered data. Using FFT
approach as the number of subcarrier increases the better is accuracy due to higher number of points. Hence data rate

will also increase with this technology. In this section, The BER performance for the proposed communication
technique is based on MIMO-OFDM system using spatial multiplexing. The system model has been tested for QPSK
modulation with a rician fading channel. To analyze the result shown in table 4. It is observed that BER is reduced up
to order of 10-

with Eb/No ratio changing from 0dB to 10dB. The BER for 8x8 MIMO system is greatly reduced to 10-

.In Rican fading channel, BER of 0.0008 is achieved for the SNR value of 5 dB using Spatial multiplexing. The
simulation results are shown in Figure 9 This shows optimum BER of 10-4 is achieved at 5.6dB SNR.

6.2 Optimum PAPR achieved using PTS
The Figure 11(a) depicts the graph for reduction in PAPR. The Partial transmit sequence scrambling technique used to
indicate reduction in PAPR. As shown in Figure 11(a) The PAPR of 9.17 dB is achieved without using PTS. Whereas,
the reduction in PAPR of 6.45dB is achieved using PTS.As shown in graph of Figure 12. The estimation of the channel
is done using the two channels, Rayleigh and Rician. It is done by implementing Modified channel estimation
algorithms. Table 4. Indicate PAPR reduction with PTS at various phase shift. The PTS technique provides optimum
PAPR of 2.71dB.Table 5 shows the difference in minimum PAPR achieved without and with PTS. Thereby improving
the performance and efficiency of OFDM system. PTS technique provides better reduction in PAPR as compared to
other scrambling techniques.

7. CONCLUSION
The MIMO-OFDM is an efficient wireless system. It has the efficient use of available bandwidth since the sub channels
are overlapping. With the analysis of result of simulation we can conclude that speed of data transmission rate is
doubled and BER is reduced by 8 times. The performance of the MIMO-OFDM system is optimized with minimum bit
error rate of 0.0008 ie, 8x10
-4
with 5.6 dB SNR. OFDM with multiple transmit and receive antennas form a MIMO
system to increase system capacity. It is apparent from table 1 that when the Rician factor and Signal to Noise Ratio
increases, the Bit Error Rate decreases gradually. However, the occurrence of high PAPR restricts its application. The
PTS provides a distortion less technique in eliminating the PAPR at the expense of additional complexity. Based on
simulation result justifies that PTS technique succeeds reduction in the PAPR of OFDM signal. The Further, the
research can be carried out in reducing the computation complexity of MIMO-OFDM System. The PTS provides
optimum PAPR of 2.71dB.
