Abstract

For well-known orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), the cyclic prefix (CP) is essential for coping with multipath channels. Nevertheless, CP is a pure redundant signal, which wastes valuable time–frequency resources. We propose a novel waveform based on symbol repetition, which is presented to cut down the CP overhead in OFDM. In the presented OFDM with symbol repetition (SR-OFDM), one CP is inserted in the front of several transmitted symbols, instead of only one symbol, as in the conventional way. As a result, it can save the overhead created by CP. Furthermore, due to the existence of the remaining CP, the multipath channel can still be converted into the frequency domain, and single-tap equalization can still be used to equalize information free from interference. In addition, we also extend the proposed SR-OFDM into multiple input–multiple output (MIMO) systems. Finally, the proposed schemes are validated by computer simulations under the various channels.
