Figure 1 Conceptual diagram for a DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDM system with scaling

Reference [16] researched various precoding techniques forPAPR reducing in optical wireless OFDM system by simula-tion Reference [17] researched DCT precoding in optical fastOFDM system by simulation The experimental results showthe DCT precoding scheme can improve the BER and PAPRperformances of the optical OFDM systems

In [18] we have recently proposed a combined DCTand clipping scheme to reduce the PAPR for IMDD opticalOFDM system Furthermore the experimental results showthat the proposed scheme can obtain a considerable BERperformance improvement However the improvement ofBER performance of the proposed scheme is not significantwhen it is compared with that of the DCT precoded OFDMOn the other hand clipping algorithm in baseband signaladds the computational complexity of system

Recently the authors in [19] proposed an adaptive scal-ing and biasing scheme to improve BER performance ofOFDM-based visible light communication (VLC) systems bysimulation The main idea in [19] is that the output of theIFFT of the VLC system can be amplified using an adaptivescaling in order to improve the BER performance of thesystem by fully exploiting the dynamic range of the lightemitting diodes Inspired by the concept in [19] we proposeda scaling scheme to improve the BER performance of theconventional DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDM systemsThe PAPR of the DCT precoded OFDM is lower than thatof the conventional OFDM Thus in order to full exploitthe dynamic range of the DAC of a DCT precoded OFDMsystem a digital scaling technique can be employed before thedigital-to-analog converter (DAC) to improve the SNR of thesystem Furthermore the BER performance can be improvedwithout changing the structure of the receiver Compared tothe conventional DCT precodedOFDM the advantage of theproposed method does not need to add any hardware deviceThe proposed scaling scheme is employed in an optical directdetection OFDM experimental platform a sample rate of4Gss precoded and scaled OFDM signal is successfullyprocessed and recovered after 100 km transmission through

SMF link The experimental results show that the sensitivityof the received DCT precoded and scaled OFDM signalis greatly improved compared to the conventional DCTprecoded optical OFDM system and original optical OFDMsystem

This paper is organized as follows In Section 2 thesystem principle of the proposed scheme is described andthe BER performance of the system with scaling is analyzedIn Section 3 the experiment setup of the proposed systemis presented In Section 4 the PAPR and BER performanceof the system are evaluated Finally Section 5 concludes thispaper

2 System Principle

21 System Model A DCT precoded optical IMDD OFDMsystem model using scaling technique is shown in Figure 1It consists of transmitter channel and receiver blocks whichare described in Figure 1

The main idea of the proposed scheme is that thebaseband modulated data stream is first transformed by theDCTmatrixThen the transformed data are processed by theIFFT unit The proposed scaling is applied before the DACof the IMDD optical OFDM system In order to producethe real output of the IFFT the input of the IFFT must be aHermitian symmetric structure

At the transmitter the binary input data is modulatedby a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) format ThebasebandmodulatedQAMsignal vector is represented by 119878 =

than that of the original OFDM signal without DCT pre-coding In order to fully exploit the dynamic range of theDAC we may rescale the DCT precoded OFDM signal sothat the maximum amplitude of the DCT precoded OFDMsignal is the same as the maximum amplitude of the original

OFDM signal We denote the scaling factor of this lineartransformation by 120573 The scaled signal is then given by 120573119909

After parallel-to-serial CP addition and DAC the analog

In the receiver end the values of the pilot symbols areknown and the received pilot symbols 119877

119867 Then the original data signal can beestimated as 119878 = 119865

where the definition of 119886119897

is the same as 119886119897

in (3)In our proposed scheme the scaling is operated at the

transmitter and the receiver does not need any knowledgeabout the scaling factorThe scaling factor can be estimated bychannel estimation technique at the receiver Thus no extraoperation is required at the receiver [19]

22 Scaling Technique Due to the application of DCT pre-coding the PAPR of the transmitted signals is significantlyreduced Thus the amplitude range of the DCT precodedOFDM signal is much less than that of the original OFDMsignal For improving performance of DCT precoded OFDMsystem a scaling technique is employed in a DCT precodedOFDM system to fully exploit the dynamic range of a DAC

For a time domain original OFDM symbol 119909119899

119899 =

119899

119899 = 0 1 119873 minus 1let us denote the maximum and minimum amplitude valueof the symbol by 119886max and 119887min respectively Due to theapplication of the DCT precoding the absolute of amplitudevalue of DCT precoded OFDM signal is lower than that ofthe original OFDM signal So the absolute values of 119886max and119887min are smaller than those of 119860max and 119861min respectivelyFurthermore to improve the performance of system weemploy a scaling factor before DAC and after IFFT Thescaling factor is given by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

(17)

The scaled signal fully exploits the dynamic range of DACwithout changing the transmitter structure Then the scaledDCT precoded OFDM signal can be expressed as

119911119899

= 120573 sdot 119909119899

(18)

where 120573 ge 1 After scaling the maximum amplitude value ofthe DCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the originalOFDM

23 BER Performance Analysis To study the BER perfor-mance of the DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDM systemwith scaling this section will illustrate the performanceanalysis of the conventional OFDM conventional DCTprecoded OFDM and scaled DCT precoded OFDM systemsacross two different channels such as AWGN and frequency-selective fading with M-QAM data mapping For the M-QAM scheme the theoretical BER expression of OFDM overAWGN channel is given as [21]

119872 is the number of bits per constellation point and1205740

is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver

231 BER Performance Analysis in AWGN Channel Basi-cally the performance of original OFDM systems is the sameas that of conventional DCT precoded OFDM systems overAWGN channel [21] The BER can be calculated according to(19) However when the proposed scaling is employed in aDCT precoded OFDM system the SNR at the receiver can beimproved

The effective SNR of the proposed scaling scheme can beexpressed as

120574 =1205732

1205902

119883

1205902

AWGN= 1205732

1205740

(20)

Thus theBERof the proposed scaling scheme can be expressedas [21]

119875scaling119887AWGN = (

Comparing (19) and (21) it is clear that the value of 119875scaling119887AWGN

is smaller than that of 119875original119887AWGN due to 0 le 120573 le 1 So the

proposed scaling can improve the BER performance of con-ventional DCT precoded OFDM systems in AWGN channel

232 BER Performance Analysis in Dispersive Fiber ChannelSimilar to the analysis in [22] when PMD is absent andgroup-velocity dispersion (GVD) is the only fiber impair-ment considered we can express the transfer function of thefiber as

119867(120596) = exp(1198951205962

1205732

2119871) (22)

where 1205732

In this work we mainly research the effect of the scalingscheme on the BER of system so without loss of generalitywe do not consider impact of the nonlinear DFB LD and PDdetection component At the receiver the receiver signal canbe expressed as

119903 (119905) = 119909 (119905) lowast ℎ (119905) + 119899 (119905) (24)

where 119909(119905) 119903(119905) and 119899(119905) are the transmitted OFDM signalthe received OFDM signal and the AWGN noise

Comparing (28) to (30) it is clear that scaling can alsoimprove the BER of the conventional DCT precoded OFDMsystem in dispersive fiber channel

233 Simulation Results We first study the BER perfor-mance of a system with scaling scheme in an AWGN channelby simulation In the simulation setup we use the IEEE80216-2004 standard [24] as the PHY protocol The OFDMframe structure has 192 data subcarriers and eight pilot tonesfor channel estimation and equalization 56 unused tones forthe guard band and 64 tones for the CP

Figure 2 shows the BER performance versus the SNRfor the QPSK transmission of the proposed DCT precodedand scaled OFDM scheme in an AWGN channel In thesimulation the bit rate is 5Gbitss From Figure 2 we can seethat the scaling scheme can improve the BER performanceof the DCT precoded and scaled OFDM compared with theconventional DCT precoded OFDM We can see that thereis no significant difference between the original OFDM andconventional DCT precoded OFDM The simulation resultsare consistent with the previous analysis and reported results[25]

Next we investigate the BER performance of the DCTprecoded and scaled OFDM over single-mode fiber channelby simulation The frequency response of the optical fiberchannel as expressed in (22) is employed The summary ofkey simulation parameters is given in Table 1

Reducing max[|119909119899

|] is the principle goal of PAPR reduc-tion techniques The precoding technique reduces the PAPRof OFDM signals without changing the average power of theoriginal OFDM signal

The PAPR performance of OFDM signal can be evaluatedusing the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF)TheCCDF of PAPR (namely119875

119888

) can be expressed as119875119888

= 119875PAPR gt PAPR0 where 119875119888

indicates the probabilitythat PAPR exceeds a particular value PAPR0

However due to the fact that the all-sample value of theDCT precoded OFDM signal is multiplied by a scaling factor120573 according to definition equation (31) the PAPR of scaledDCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the conventionalDCTprecodedOFDMThePAPRperformance of theOFDMsystem can be evaluated using the complementary cumulativedistribution function (CCDF) Figure 6 shows the CCDFcomparisons of a QPSK signal of 50000 OFDM frames Weobserve that at CCDF = 10minus3 the PAPR of the DCT precodedQPSK OFDM signals may be reduced by 13 dB compared tothe original QPSK OFDM signals

In our experiment setup the OFDM data signals areproduced by MATLAB program Figures 7 and 8 show thetemporal waveforms of original OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM respectively We observe that the DCT precodedOFDM signal fluctuates less than the original OFDM signalThemaximumamplitude value andminimumamplitude valeof original OFDM signal are 38588 and minus35954 respectivelywhile the maximum amplitude and minimum amplitudeof DCT precoded OFDM signal are 35133 and minus34457respectively

For improving the systemBERperformancewe employedscaling to the conventional DCT precoded OFDM system Infollowing experiment the scaling factor of theDCTprecodedOFDM can be calculated by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

Thus the scaled DCT precoded OFDM is be amplifiedby 11 times compared to the conventional DCT precodedOFDM

Figure 9 shows the temporal waveform of DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal After scaling the maximum ampli-tude of the precoded and scaled OFDM signal is the same asthat of the original OFDM signal In following experimentthe generated OFDM signal is downloaded to an arbitrarywaveform (AWG) and normalized The normalized OFDMsignal has a peak-to-peak value of 1 volt

5 Conclusion

We have proposed a scaling scheme for a DCT precodedIMDD optical OFDM system This scheme can fully exploitthe dynamic range of a DAC and significantly improve theBER performance of systems The advantage of this scalingtechnique is that it does not require adding and hardwaredevice to the system We have experimentally researched theBER performance of a DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDMsystem with scaling in practical transmission experimentalsystem The experimental results show that the receivedsensitivity at a BER of 10minus3 for a 4Gss DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal and after 100 km standard single-mode fiber transmission has been improved by 3 dB whencompared with the original OFDM systems in the SMFlink and by 13 dB when compared with the conventionalDCT precoded OFDM signals Thus the proposed scalingtechnique can be used for optical communication systemdesign

Figure 1 Conceptual diagram for a DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDM system with scaling

Reference [16] researched various precoding techniques forPAPR reducing in optical wireless OFDM system by simula-tion Reference [17] researched DCT precoding in optical fastOFDM system by simulation The experimental results showthe DCT precoding scheme can improve the BER and PAPRperformances of the optical OFDM systems

In [18] we have recently proposed a combined DCTand clipping scheme to reduce the PAPR for IMDD opticalOFDM system Furthermore the experimental results showthat the proposed scheme can obtain a considerable BERperformance improvement However the improvement ofBER performance of the proposed scheme is not significantwhen it is compared with that of the DCT precoded OFDMOn the other hand clipping algorithm in baseband signaladds the computational complexity of system

Recently the authors in [19] proposed an adaptive scal-ing and biasing scheme to improve BER performance ofOFDM-based visible light communication (VLC) systems bysimulation The main idea in [19] is that the output of theIFFT of the VLC system can be amplified using an adaptivescaling in order to improve the BER performance of thesystem by fully exploiting the dynamic range of the lightemitting diodes Inspired by the concept in [19] we proposeda scaling scheme to improve the BER performance of theconventional DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDM systemsThe PAPR of the DCT precoded OFDM is lower than thatof the conventional OFDM Thus in order to full exploitthe dynamic range of the DAC of a DCT precoded OFDMsystem a digital scaling technique can be employed before thedigital-to-analog converter (DAC) to improve the SNR of thesystem Furthermore the BER performance can be improvedwithout changing the structure of the receiver Compared tothe conventional DCT precodedOFDM the advantage of theproposed method does not need to add any hardware deviceThe proposed scaling scheme is employed in an optical directdetection OFDM experimental platform a sample rate of4Gss precoded and scaled OFDM signal is successfullyprocessed and recovered after 100 km transmission through

SMF link The experimental results show that the sensitivityof the received DCT precoded and scaled OFDM signalis greatly improved compared to the conventional DCTprecoded optical OFDM system and original optical OFDMsystem

21 System Model A DCT precoded optical IMDD OFDMsystem model using scaling technique is shown in Figure 1It consists of transmitter channel and receiver blocks whichare described in Figure 1

The main idea of the proposed scheme is that thebaseband modulated data stream is first transformed by theDCTmatrixThen the transformed data are processed by theIFFT unit The proposed scaling is applied before the DACof the IMDD optical OFDM system In order to producethe real output of the IFFT the input of the IFFT must be aHermitian symmetric structure

At the transmitter the binary input data is modulatedby a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) format ThebasebandmodulatedQAMsignal vector is represented by 119878 =

119879 denotes the matrix transposeThen the basebandmodulated signal vector is passed throughSP converter which generates a complex signal vector of size119863 Then DCT precoding is applied to this complex vectorwhich transforms this complex vector into new signal vectorof length 119863 This new signal vector transformed by DCTprecoding can be expressed as

119896

respectivelyThe PAPR of the DCT precoded OFDM signal is lower

than that of the original OFDM signal without DCT pre-coding In order to fully exploit the dynamic range of theDAC we may rescale the DCT precoded OFDM signal sothat the maximum amplitude of the DCT precoded OFDMsignal is the same as the maximum amplitude of the original

OFDM signal We denote the scaling factor of this lineartransformation by 120573 The scaled signal is then given by 120573119909

After parallel-to-serial CP addition and DAC the analog

In the receiver end the values of the pilot symbols areknown and the received pilot symbols 119877

119867 Then the original data signal can beestimated as 119878 = 119865

where the definition of 119886119897

is the same as 119886119897

in (3)In our proposed scheme the scaling is operated at the

transmitter and the receiver does not need any knowledgeabout the scaling factorThe scaling factor can be estimated bychannel estimation technique at the receiver Thus no extraoperation is required at the receiver [19]

22 Scaling Technique Due to the application of DCT pre-coding the PAPR of the transmitted signals is significantlyreduced Thus the amplitude range of the DCT precodedOFDM signal is much less than that of the original OFDMsignal For improving performance of DCT precoded OFDMsystem a scaling technique is employed in a DCT precodedOFDM system to fully exploit the dynamic range of a DAC

For a time domain original OFDM symbol 119909119899

119899 =

119899

119899 = 0 1 119873 minus 1let us denote the maximum and minimum amplitude valueof the symbol by 119886max and 119887min respectively Due to theapplication of the DCT precoding the absolute of amplitudevalue of DCT precoded OFDM signal is lower than that ofthe original OFDM signal So the absolute values of 119886max and119887min are smaller than those of 119860max and 119861min respectivelyFurthermore to improve the performance of system weemploy a scaling factor before DAC and after IFFT Thescaling factor is given by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

(17)

The scaled signal fully exploits the dynamic range of DACwithout changing the transmitter structure Then the scaledDCT precoded OFDM signal can be expressed as

119911119899

= 120573 sdot 119909119899

(18)

where 120573 ge 1 After scaling the maximum amplitude value ofthe DCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the originalOFDM

23 BER Performance Analysis To study the BER perfor-mance of the DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDM systemwith scaling this section will illustrate the performanceanalysis of the conventional OFDM conventional DCTprecoded OFDM and scaled DCT precoded OFDM systemsacross two different channels such as AWGN and frequency-selective fading with M-QAM data mapping For the M-QAM scheme the theoretical BER expression of OFDM overAWGN channel is given as [21]

119872 is the number of bits per constellation point and1205740

is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver

231 BER Performance Analysis in AWGN Channel Basi-cally the performance of original OFDM systems is the sameas that of conventional DCT precoded OFDM systems overAWGN channel [21] The BER can be calculated according to(19) However when the proposed scaling is employed in aDCT precoded OFDM system the SNR at the receiver can beimproved

The effective SNR of the proposed scaling scheme can beexpressed as

120574 =1205732

1205902

119883

1205902

AWGN= 1205732

1205740

(20)

Thus theBERof the proposed scaling scheme can be expressedas [21]

Comparing (19) and (21) it is clear that the value of 119875scaling119887AWGN

is smaller than that of 119875original119887AWGN due to 0 le 120573 le 1 So the

proposed scaling can improve the BER performance of con-ventional DCT precoded OFDM systems in AWGN channel

232 BER Performance Analysis in Dispersive Fiber ChannelSimilar to the analysis in [22] when PMD is absent andgroup-velocity dispersion (GVD) is the only fiber impair-ment considered we can express the transfer function of thefiber as

In this work we mainly research the effect of the scalingscheme on the BER of system so without loss of generalitywe do not consider impact of the nonlinear DFB LD and PDdetection component At the receiver the receiver signal canbe expressed as

119903 (119905) = 119909 (119905) lowast ℎ (119905) + 119899 (119905) (24)

where 119909(119905) 119903(119905) and 119899(119905) are the transmitted OFDM signalthe received OFDM signal and the AWGN noise

Let 119867119896

be the 119873-point DFT of ℎeq(119905) The set of data-carrying subcarriers for the DCT precoded IMDD opticalOFDM is 120581 = 1 2 1198732 minus 1 and |120581

233 Simulation Results We first study the BER perfor-mance of a system with scaling scheme in an AWGN channelby simulation In the simulation setup we use the IEEE80216-2004 standard [24] as the PHY protocol The OFDMframe structure has 192 data subcarriers and eight pilot tonesfor channel estimation and equalization 56 unused tones forthe guard band and 64 tones for the CP

Figure 2 shows the BER performance versus the SNRfor the QPSK transmission of the proposed DCT precodedand scaled OFDM scheme in an AWGN channel In thesimulation the bit rate is 5Gbitss From Figure 2 we can seethat the scaling scheme can improve the BER performanceof the DCT precoded and scaled OFDM compared with theconventional DCT precoded OFDM We can see that thereis no significant difference between the original OFDM andconventional DCT precoded OFDM The simulation resultsare consistent with the previous analysis and reported results[25]

Reducing max[|119909119899

|] is the principle goal of PAPR reduc-tion techniques The precoding technique reduces the PAPRof OFDM signals without changing the average power of theoriginal OFDM signal

The PAPR performance of OFDM signal can be evaluatedusing the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF)TheCCDF of PAPR (namely119875

119888

) can be expressed as119875119888

= 119875PAPR gt PAPR0 where 119875119888

indicates the probabilitythat PAPR exceeds a particular value PAPR0

However due to the fact that the all-sample value of theDCT precoded OFDM signal is multiplied by a scaling factor120573 according to definition equation (31) the PAPR of scaledDCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the conventionalDCTprecodedOFDMThePAPRperformance of theOFDMsystem can be evaluated using the complementary cumulativedistribution function (CCDF) Figure 6 shows the CCDFcomparisons of a QPSK signal of 50000 OFDM frames Weobserve that at CCDF = 10minus3 the PAPR of the DCT precodedQPSK OFDM signals may be reduced by 13 dB compared tothe original QPSK OFDM signals

In our experiment setup the OFDM data signals areproduced by MATLAB program Figures 7 and 8 show thetemporal waveforms of original OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM respectively We observe that the DCT precodedOFDM signal fluctuates less than the original OFDM signalThemaximumamplitude value andminimumamplitude valeof original OFDM signal are 38588 and minus35954 respectivelywhile the maximum amplitude and minimum amplitudeof DCT precoded OFDM signal are 35133 and minus34457respectively

For improving the systemBERperformancewe employedscaling to the conventional DCT precoded OFDM system Infollowing experiment the scaling factor of theDCTprecodedOFDM can be calculated by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

=38588 minus (minus35954)

35133 minus (minus34457)asymp 11 (32)

Thus the scaled DCT precoded OFDM is be amplifiedby 11 times compared to the conventional DCT precodedOFDM

Figure 9 shows the temporal waveform of DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal After scaling the maximum ampli-tude of the precoded and scaled OFDM signal is the same asthat of the original OFDM signal In following experimentthe generated OFDM signal is downloaded to an arbitrarywaveform (AWG) and normalized The normalized OFDMsignal has a peak-to-peak value of 1 volt

42 BER Performance The BER performance of the pro-posed scaling scheme has been evaluated by practical experi-ment platform in this section For comparison BER perfor-mance we have measured the BER of the original OFDMconventional DCT precoded OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM with scaling Figure 10 shows the measured BERperformance results of the DCT precoded and scaled QPSKOFDM signal conventional precoded QPSK OFDM signaland original QPSK OFDM signal at a fixed sample rate of4Gss with the launch optical power of 6 dBm We can seethat the performance of the DCT precoded and scaled systemis better than that of the conventional DCT precoded OFDMand the original OFDM It can be seen that the receivedsensitivity of DCT precoded and scaled OFDM signal at theBER of 10minus3 after 100 km SMF transmission can be improvedby about 3 dB compared to the original OFDM signals and by13 dB compared to the conventional DCT precoded OFDMsignals

5 Conclusion

We have proposed a scaling scheme for a DCT precodedIMDD optical OFDM system This scheme can fully exploitthe dynamic range of a DAC and significantly improve theBER performance of systems The advantage of this scalingtechnique is that it does not require adding and hardwaredevice to the system We have experimentally researched theBER performance of a DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDMsystem with scaling in practical transmission experimentalsystem The experimental results show that the receivedsensitivity at a BER of 10minus3 for a 4Gss DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal and after 100 km standard single-mode fiber transmission has been improved by 3 dB whencompared with the original OFDM systems in the SMFlink and by 13 dB when compared with the conventionalDCT precoded OFDM signals Thus the proposed scalingtechnique can be used for optical communication systemdesign

in (3)In our proposed scheme the scaling is operated at the

transmitter and the receiver does not need any knowledgeabout the scaling factorThe scaling factor can be estimated bychannel estimation technique at the receiver Thus no extraoperation is required at the receiver [19]

22 Scaling Technique Due to the application of DCT pre-coding the PAPR of the transmitted signals is significantlyreduced Thus the amplitude range of the DCT precodedOFDM signal is much less than that of the original OFDMsignal For improving performance of DCT precoded OFDMsystem a scaling technique is employed in a DCT precodedOFDM system to fully exploit the dynamic range of a DAC

For a time domain original OFDM symbol 119909119899

119899 =

119899

119899 = 0 1 119873 minus 1let us denote the maximum and minimum amplitude valueof the symbol by 119886max and 119887min respectively Due to theapplication of the DCT precoding the absolute of amplitudevalue of DCT precoded OFDM signal is lower than that ofthe original OFDM signal So the absolute values of 119886max and119887min are smaller than those of 119860max and 119861min respectivelyFurthermore to improve the performance of system weemploy a scaling factor before DAC and after IFFT Thescaling factor is given by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

(17)

The scaled signal fully exploits the dynamic range of DACwithout changing the transmitter structure Then the scaledDCT precoded OFDM signal can be expressed as

119911119899

= 120573 sdot 119909119899

(18)

where 120573 ge 1 After scaling the maximum amplitude value ofthe DCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the originalOFDM

23 BER Performance Analysis To study the BER perfor-mance of the DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDM systemwith scaling this section will illustrate the performanceanalysis of the conventional OFDM conventional DCTprecoded OFDM and scaled DCT precoded OFDM systemsacross two different channels such as AWGN and frequency-selective fading with M-QAM data mapping For the M-QAM scheme the theoretical BER expression of OFDM overAWGN channel is given as [21]

119872 is the number of bits per constellation point and1205740

is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver

231 BER Performance Analysis in AWGN Channel Basi-cally the performance of original OFDM systems is the sameas that of conventional DCT precoded OFDM systems overAWGN channel [21] The BER can be calculated according to(19) However when the proposed scaling is employed in aDCT precoded OFDM system the SNR at the receiver can beimproved

The effective SNR of the proposed scaling scheme can beexpressed as

120574 =1205732

1205902

119883

1205902

AWGN= 1205732

Thus theBERof the proposed scaling scheme can be expressedas [21]

Comparing (19) and (21) it is clear that the value of 119875scaling119887AWGN

is smaller than that of 119875original119887AWGN due to 0 le 120573 le 1 So the

proposed scaling can improve the BER performance of con-ventional DCT precoded OFDM systems in AWGN channel

232 BER Performance Analysis in Dispersive Fiber ChannelSimilar to the analysis in [22] when PMD is absent andgroup-velocity dispersion (GVD) is the only fiber impair-ment considered we can express the transfer function of thefiber as

119867(120596) = exp(1198951205962

1205732

2119871) (22)

can be defined as 1205732

2120587119888 The impulse responseℎ(119905) can be given by the inverse Fourier transform of (22)

Dispersive fiber channel ℎ(119905) can be described using alinear time invariant (LTI) transfer function [22] For DC-OFDM system the transmitted symbols are modulated suchthat the time domain waveform is real Thus the equivalentlinear channel of fiber can be written as

In this work we mainly research the effect of the scalingscheme on the BER of system so without loss of generalitywe do not consider impact of the nonlinear DFB LD and PDdetection component At the receiver the receiver signal canbe expressed as

119903 (119905) = 119909 (119905) lowast ℎ (119905) + 119899 (119905) (24)

where 119909(119905) 119903(119905) and 119899(119905) are the transmitted OFDM signalthe received OFDM signal and the AWGN noise

Let 119867119896

be the 119873-point DFT of ℎeq(119905) The set of data-carrying subcarriers for the DCT precoded IMDD opticalOFDM is 120581 = 1 2 1198732 minus 1 and |120581

119889

| = 1198732 minus 1 = 119863With equalization in receiver end the overall transmissionsystem is equivalent to119863 parallel AWGN channels [23] For afrequency-selective (FS) channel the SNR of every subcarrierchannel 120574

can be expressed as

We can see from (27) that the same amount of noise isdistributed among the subcarrier channels based on DCTprecoded OFDM system Thus the BER performance of theDCT precoded OFDM system can be improved comparedwith that of the original optical OFDM system

233 Simulation Results We first study the BER perfor-mance of a system with scaling scheme in an AWGN channelby simulation In the simulation setup we use the IEEE80216-2004 standard [24] as the PHY protocol The OFDMframe structure has 192 data subcarriers and eight pilot tonesfor channel estimation and equalization 56 unused tones forthe guard band and 64 tones for the CP

Figure 2 shows the BER performance versus the SNRfor the QPSK transmission of the proposed DCT precodedand scaled OFDM scheme in an AWGN channel In thesimulation the bit rate is 5Gbitss From Figure 2 we can seethat the scaling scheme can improve the BER performanceof the DCT precoded and scaled OFDM compared with theconventional DCT precoded OFDM We can see that thereis no significant difference between the original OFDM andconventional DCT precoded OFDM The simulation resultsare consistent with the previous analysis and reported results[25]

Reducing max[|119909119899

|] is the principle goal of PAPR reduc-tion techniques The precoding technique reduces the PAPRof OFDM signals without changing the average power of theoriginal OFDM signal

The PAPR performance of OFDM signal can be evaluatedusing the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF)TheCCDF of PAPR (namely119875

119888

) can be expressed as119875119888

= 119875PAPR gt PAPR0 where 119875119888

indicates the probabilitythat PAPR exceeds a particular value PAPR0

However due to the fact that the all-sample value of theDCT precoded OFDM signal is multiplied by a scaling factor120573 according to definition equation (31) the PAPR of scaledDCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the conventionalDCTprecodedOFDMThePAPRperformance of theOFDMsystem can be evaluated using the complementary cumulativedistribution function (CCDF) Figure 6 shows the CCDFcomparisons of a QPSK signal of 50000 OFDM frames Weobserve that at CCDF = 10minus3 the PAPR of the DCT precodedQPSK OFDM signals may be reduced by 13 dB compared tothe original QPSK OFDM signals

In our experiment setup the OFDM data signals areproduced by MATLAB program Figures 7 and 8 show thetemporal waveforms of original OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM respectively We observe that the DCT precodedOFDM signal fluctuates less than the original OFDM signalThemaximumamplitude value andminimumamplitude valeof original OFDM signal are 38588 and minus35954 respectivelywhile the maximum amplitude and minimum amplitudeof DCT precoded OFDM signal are 35133 and minus34457respectively

For improving the systemBERperformancewe employedscaling to the conventional DCT precoded OFDM system Infollowing experiment the scaling factor of theDCTprecodedOFDM can be calculated by

Thus the scaled DCT precoded OFDM is be amplifiedby 11 times compared to the conventional DCT precodedOFDM

Figure 9 shows the temporal waveform of DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal After scaling the maximum ampli-tude of the precoded and scaled OFDM signal is the same asthat of the original OFDM signal In following experimentthe generated OFDM signal is downloaded to an arbitrarywaveform (AWG) and normalized The normalized OFDMsignal has a peak-to-peak value of 1 volt

5 Conclusion

We have proposed a scaling scheme for a DCT precodedIMDD optical OFDM system This scheme can fully exploitthe dynamic range of a DAC and significantly improve theBER performance of systems The advantage of this scalingtechnique is that it does not require adding and hardwaredevice to the system We have experimentally researched theBER performance of a DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDMsystem with scaling in practical transmission experimentalsystem The experimental results show that the receivedsensitivity at a BER of 10minus3 for a 4Gss DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal and after 100 km standard single-mode fiber transmission has been improved by 3 dB whencompared with the original OFDM systems in the SMFlink and by 13 dB when compared with the conventionalDCT precoded OFDM signals Thus the proposed scalingtechnique can be used for optical communication systemdesign

OFDM signal 119877 The one-tap equalizer is simply realizedby multiplying each individual subcarrier with the complexvalue of the equalizer which is to be computed based on itsown subcarrier channel coefficient In the sequel the outputof the equalizer can be written as

where 11986600

and 119867119899

is the 119899th frequency channelcoefficient After removing the Hermitian symmetric partof the signal vector 119883 the new signal vector of size 119863

is obtained Then vector is transformed by the inverseprecoding matrix 119865

119867 Then the original data signal can beestimated as 119878 = 119865

119867

The 119897th element of 119878 can be calculated as

where the definition of 119886119897

is the same as 119886119897

in (3)In our proposed scheme the scaling is operated at the

transmitter and the receiver does not need any knowledgeabout the scaling factorThe scaling factor can be estimated bychannel estimation technique at the receiver Thus no extraoperation is required at the receiver [19]

22 Scaling Technique Due to the application of DCT pre-coding the PAPR of the transmitted signals is significantlyreduced Thus the amplitude range of the DCT precodedOFDM signal is much less than that of the original OFDMsignal For improving performance of DCT precoded OFDMsystem a scaling technique is employed in a DCT precodedOFDM system to fully exploit the dynamic range of a DAC

For a time domain original OFDM symbol 119909119899

119899 =

0 1 119873minus1 let us denote the maximum andminimum ofthe symbol by119860max and119861min respectively For a time domainDCT precoded OFDM symbol 119909

119899

119899 = 0 1 119873 minus 1let us denote the maximum and minimum amplitude valueof the symbol by 119886max and 119887min respectively Due to theapplication of the DCT precoding the absolute of amplitudevalue of DCT precoded OFDM signal is lower than that ofthe original OFDM signal So the absolute values of 119886max and119887min are smaller than those of 119860max and 119861min respectivelyFurthermore to improve the performance of system weemploy a scaling factor before DAC and after IFFT Thescaling factor is given by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

(17)

The scaled signal fully exploits the dynamic range of DACwithout changing the transmitter structure Then the scaledDCT precoded OFDM signal can be expressed as

119911119899

= 120573 sdot 119909119899

(18)

where 120573 ge 1 After scaling the maximum amplitude value ofthe DCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the originalOFDM

23 BER Performance Analysis To study the BER perfor-mance of the DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDM systemwith scaling this section will illustrate the performanceanalysis of the conventional OFDM conventional DCTprecoded OFDM and scaled DCT precoded OFDM systemsacross two different channels such as AWGN and frequency-selective fading with M-QAM data mapping For the M-QAM scheme the theoretical BER expression of OFDM overAWGN channel is given as [21]

119872 is the number of bits per constellation point and1205740

is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver

231 BER Performance Analysis in AWGN Channel Basi-cally the performance of original OFDM systems is the sameas that of conventional DCT precoded OFDM systems overAWGN channel [21] The BER can be calculated according to(19) However when the proposed scaling is employed in aDCT precoded OFDM system the SNR at the receiver can beimproved

The effective SNR of the proposed scaling scheme can beexpressed as

120574 =1205732

1205902

119883

1205902

AWGN= 1205732

1205740

(20)

Thus theBERof the proposed scaling scheme can be expressedas [21]

119875scaling119887AWGN = (

119898)119876(radic

(119872 minus 1)) (21)

Comparing (19) and (21) it is clear that the value of 119875scaling119887AWGN

is smaller than that of 119875original119887AWGN due to 0 le 120573 le 1 So the

proposed scaling can improve the BER performance of con-ventional DCT precoded OFDM systems in AWGN channel

232 BER Performance Analysis in Dispersive Fiber ChannelSimilar to the analysis in [22] when PMD is absent andgroup-velocity dispersion (GVD) is the only fiber impair-ment considered we can express the transfer function of thefiber as

119867(120596) = exp(1198951205962

1205732

2119871) (22)

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering 5

where 1205732

is the fiber GVD parameter and 119871 is the fiber length1205732

can be defined as 1205732

= minus1198631205822

2120587119888 The impulse responseℎ(119905) can be given by the inverse Fourier transform of (22)

Dispersive fiber channel ℎ(119905) can be described using alinear time invariant (LTI) transfer function [22] For DC-OFDM system the transmitted symbols are modulated suchthat the time domain waveform is real Thus the equivalentlinear channel of fiber can be written as

ℎeq (119905) =ℎ (119905) + ℎ

In this work we mainly research the effect of the scalingscheme on the BER of system so without loss of generalitywe do not consider impact of the nonlinear DFB LD and PDdetection component At the receiver the receiver signal canbe expressed as

119903 (119905) = 119909 (119905) lowast ℎ (119905) + 119899 (119905) (24)

where 119909(119905) 119903(119905) and 119899(119905) are the transmitted OFDM signalthe received OFDM signal and the AWGN noise

Let 119867119896

be the 119873-point DFT of ℎeq(119905) The set of data-carrying subcarriers for the DCT precoded IMDD opticalOFDM is 120581 = 1 2 1198732 minus 1 and |120581

119889

| = 1198732 minus 1 = 119863With equalization in receiver end the overall transmissionsystem is equivalent to119863 parallel AWGN channels [23] For afrequency-selective (FS) channel the SNR of every subcarrierchannel 120574

119896

can be expressed as

Thus the BER performance of the original OFDM system canbe expressed as

The BER analysis of the precoded OFDM system hasbeen given in literature [15] For the DCT precoded opticalOFDM system the SNR of the 119897th subcarrier channel can beexpressed as [15]

We can see from (27) that the same amount of noise isdistributed among the subcarrier channels based on DCTprecoded OFDM system Thus the BER performance of theDCT precoded OFDM system can be improved comparedwith that of the original optical OFDM system

For the scaled DCT precoded OFDM system the SNR ofthe 119897th subcarrier channel can be expressed as

Comparing (28) to (30) it is clear that scaling can alsoimprove the BER of the conventional DCT precoded OFDMsystem in dispersive fiber channel

233 Simulation Results We first study the BER perfor-mance of a system with scaling scheme in an AWGN channelby simulation In the simulation setup we use the IEEE80216-2004 standard [24] as the PHY protocol The OFDMframe structure has 192 data subcarriers and eight pilot tonesfor channel estimation and equalization 56 unused tones forthe guard band and 64 tones for the CP

Figure 2 shows the BER performance versus the SNRfor the QPSK transmission of the proposed DCT precodedand scaled OFDM scheme in an AWGN channel In thesimulation the bit rate is 5Gbitss From Figure 2 we can seethat the scaling scheme can improve the BER performanceof the DCT precoded and scaled OFDM compared with theconventional DCT precoded OFDM We can see that thereis no significant difference between the original OFDM andconventional DCT precoded OFDM The simulation resultsare consistent with the previous analysis and reported results[25]

Next we investigate the BER performance of the DCTprecoded and scaled OFDM over single-mode fiber channelby simulation The frequency response of the optical fiberchannel as expressed in (22) is employed The summary ofkey simulation parameters is given in Table 1

Reducing max[|119909119899

|] is the principle goal of PAPR reduc-tion techniques The precoding technique reduces the PAPRof OFDM signals without changing the average power of theoriginal OFDM signal

The PAPR performance of OFDM signal can be evaluatedusing the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF)TheCCDF of PAPR (namely119875

119888

) can be expressed as119875119888

= 119875PAPR gt PAPR0 where 119875119888

indicates the probabilitythat PAPR exceeds a particular value PAPR0

However due to the fact that the all-sample value of theDCT precoded OFDM signal is multiplied by a scaling factor120573 according to definition equation (31) the PAPR of scaledDCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the conventionalDCTprecodedOFDMThePAPRperformance of theOFDMsystem can be evaluated using the complementary cumulativedistribution function (CCDF) Figure 6 shows the CCDFcomparisons of a QPSK signal of 50000 OFDM frames Weobserve that at CCDF = 10minus3 the PAPR of the DCT precodedQPSK OFDM signals may be reduced by 13 dB compared tothe original QPSK OFDM signals

In our experiment setup the OFDM data signals areproduced by MATLAB program Figures 7 and 8 show thetemporal waveforms of original OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM respectively We observe that the DCT precodedOFDM signal fluctuates less than the original OFDM signalThemaximumamplitude value andminimumamplitude valeof original OFDM signal are 38588 and minus35954 respectivelywhile the maximum amplitude and minimum amplitudeof DCT precoded OFDM signal are 35133 and minus34457respectively

For improving the systemBERperformancewe employedscaling to the conventional DCT precoded OFDM system Infollowing experiment the scaling factor of theDCTprecodedOFDM can be calculated by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

35133 minus (minus34457)asymp 11 (32)

Thus the scaled DCT precoded OFDM is be amplifiedby 11 times compared to the conventional DCT precodedOFDM

Figure 9 shows the temporal waveform of DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal After scaling the maximum ampli-tude of the precoded and scaled OFDM signal is the same asthat of the original OFDM signal In following experimentthe generated OFDM signal is downloaded to an arbitrarywaveform (AWG) and normalized The normalized OFDMsignal has a peak-to-peak value of 1 volt

42 BER Performance The BER performance of the pro-posed scaling scheme has been evaluated by practical experi-ment platform in this section For comparison BER perfor-mance we have measured the BER of the original OFDMconventional DCT precoded OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM with scaling Figure 10 shows the measured BERperformance results of the DCT precoded and scaled QPSKOFDM signal conventional precoded QPSK OFDM signaland original QPSK OFDM signal at a fixed sample rate of4Gss with the launch optical power of 6 dBm We can seethat the performance of the DCT precoded and scaled systemis better than that of the conventional DCT precoded OFDMand the original OFDM It can be seen that the receivedsensitivity of DCT precoded and scaled OFDM signal at theBER of 10minus3 after 100 km SMF transmission can be improvedby about 3 dB compared to the original OFDM signals and by13 dB compared to the conventional DCT precoded OFDMsignals

5 Conclusion

We have proposed a scaling scheme for a DCT precodedIMDD optical OFDM system This scheme can fully exploitthe dynamic range of a DAC and significantly improve theBER performance of systems The advantage of this scalingtechnique is that it does not require adding and hardwaredevice to the system We have experimentally researched theBER performance of a DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDMsystem with scaling in practical transmission experimentalsystem The experimental results show that the receivedsensitivity at a BER of 10minus3 for a 4Gss DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal and after 100 km standard single-mode fiber transmission has been improved by 3 dB whencompared with the original OFDM systems in the SMFlink and by 13 dB when compared with the conventionalDCT precoded OFDM signals Thus the proposed scalingtechnique can be used for optical communication systemdesign

In this work we mainly research the effect of the scalingscheme on the BER of system so without loss of generalitywe do not consider impact of the nonlinear DFB LD and PDdetection component At the receiver the receiver signal canbe expressed as

119903 (119905) = 119909 (119905) lowast ℎ (119905) + 119899 (119905) (24)

where 119909(119905) 119903(119905) and 119899(119905) are the transmitted OFDM signalthe received OFDM signal and the AWGN noise

Comparing (28) to (30) it is clear that scaling can alsoimprove the BER of the conventional DCT precoded OFDMsystem in dispersive fiber channel

233 Simulation Results We first study the BER perfor-mance of a system with scaling scheme in an AWGN channelby simulation In the simulation setup we use the IEEE80216-2004 standard [24] as the PHY protocol The OFDMframe structure has 192 data subcarriers and eight pilot tonesfor channel estimation and equalization 56 unused tones forthe guard band and 64 tones for the CP

Figure 2 shows the BER performance versus the SNRfor the QPSK transmission of the proposed DCT precodedand scaled OFDM scheme in an AWGN channel In thesimulation the bit rate is 5Gbitss From Figure 2 we can seethat the scaling scheme can improve the BER performanceof the DCT precoded and scaled OFDM compared with theconventional DCT precoded OFDM We can see that thereis no significant difference between the original OFDM andconventional DCT precoded OFDM The simulation resultsare consistent with the previous analysis and reported results[25]

Next we investigate the BER performance of the DCTprecoded and scaled OFDM over single-mode fiber channelby simulation The frequency response of the optical fiberchannel as expressed in (22) is employed The summary ofkey simulation parameters is given in Table 1

Reducing max[|119909119899

|] is the principle goal of PAPR reduc-tion techniques The precoding technique reduces the PAPRof OFDM signals without changing the average power of theoriginal OFDM signal

The PAPR performance of OFDM signal can be evaluatedusing the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF)TheCCDF of PAPR (namely119875

119888

) can be expressed as119875119888

= 119875PAPR gt PAPR0 where 119875119888

indicates the probabilitythat PAPR exceeds a particular value PAPR0

However due to the fact that the all-sample value of theDCT precoded OFDM signal is multiplied by a scaling factor120573 according to definition equation (31) the PAPR of scaledDCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the conventionalDCTprecodedOFDMThePAPRperformance of theOFDMsystem can be evaluated using the complementary cumulativedistribution function (CCDF) Figure 6 shows the CCDFcomparisons of a QPSK signal of 50000 OFDM frames Weobserve that at CCDF = 10minus3 the PAPR of the DCT precodedQPSK OFDM signals may be reduced by 13 dB compared tothe original QPSK OFDM signals

In our experiment setup the OFDM data signals areproduced by MATLAB program Figures 7 and 8 show thetemporal waveforms of original OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM respectively We observe that the DCT precodedOFDM signal fluctuates less than the original OFDM signalThemaximumamplitude value andminimumamplitude valeof original OFDM signal are 38588 and minus35954 respectivelywhile the maximum amplitude and minimum amplitudeof DCT precoded OFDM signal are 35133 and minus34457respectively

For improving the systemBERperformancewe employedscaling to the conventional DCT precoded OFDM system Infollowing experiment the scaling factor of theDCTprecodedOFDM can be calculated by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

35133 minus (minus34457)asymp 11 (32)

Thus the scaled DCT precoded OFDM is be amplifiedby 11 times compared to the conventional DCT precodedOFDM

Figure 9 shows the temporal waveform of DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal After scaling the maximum ampli-tude of the precoded and scaled OFDM signal is the same asthat of the original OFDM signal In following experimentthe generated OFDM signal is downloaded to an arbitrarywaveform (AWG) and normalized The normalized OFDMsignal has a peak-to-peak value of 1 volt

5 Conclusion

We have proposed a scaling scheme for a DCT precodedIMDD optical OFDM system This scheme can fully exploitthe dynamic range of a DAC and significantly improve theBER performance of systems The advantage of this scalingtechnique is that it does not require adding and hardwaredevice to the system We have experimentally researched theBER performance of a DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDMsystem with scaling in practical transmission experimentalsystem The experimental results show that the receivedsensitivity at a BER of 10minus3 for a 4Gss DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal and after 100 km standard single-mode fiber transmission has been improved by 3 dB whencompared with the original OFDM systems in the SMFlink and by 13 dB when compared with the conventionalDCT precoded OFDM signals Thus the proposed scalingtechnique can be used for optical communication systemdesign

Reducing max[|119909119899

|] is the principle goal of PAPR reduc-tion techniques The precoding technique reduces the PAPRof OFDM signals without changing the average power of theoriginal OFDM signal

The PAPR performance of OFDM signal can be evaluatedusing the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF)TheCCDF of PAPR (namely119875

119888

) can be expressed as119875119888

= 119875PAPR gt PAPR0 where 119875119888

indicates the probabilitythat PAPR exceeds a particular value PAPR0

However due to the fact that the all-sample value of theDCT precoded OFDM signal is multiplied by a scaling factor120573 according to definition equation (31) the PAPR of scaledDCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the conventionalDCTprecodedOFDMThePAPRperformance of theOFDMsystem can be evaluated using the complementary cumulativedistribution function (CCDF) Figure 6 shows the CCDFcomparisons of a QPSK signal of 50000 OFDM frames Weobserve that at CCDF = 10minus3 the PAPR of the DCT precodedQPSK OFDM signals may be reduced by 13 dB compared tothe original QPSK OFDM signals

In our experiment setup the OFDM data signals areproduced by MATLAB program Figures 7 and 8 show thetemporal waveforms of original OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM respectively We observe that the DCT precodedOFDM signal fluctuates less than the original OFDM signalThemaximumamplitude value andminimumamplitude valeof original OFDM signal are 38588 and minus35954 respectivelywhile the maximum amplitude and minimum amplitudeof DCT precoded OFDM signal are 35133 and minus34457respectively

For improving the systemBERperformancewe employedscaling to the conventional DCT precoded OFDM system Infollowing experiment the scaling factor of theDCTprecodedOFDM can be calculated by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

=38588 minus (minus35954)

35133 minus (minus34457)asymp 11 (32)

Thus the scaled DCT precoded OFDM is be amplifiedby 11 times compared to the conventional DCT precodedOFDM

Figure 9 shows the temporal waveform of DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal After scaling the maximum ampli-tude of the precoded and scaled OFDM signal is the same asthat of the original OFDM signal In following experimentthe generated OFDM signal is downloaded to an arbitrarywaveform (AWG) and normalized The normalized OFDMsignal has a peak-to-peak value of 1 volt

42 BER Performance The BER performance of the pro-posed scaling scheme has been evaluated by practical experi-ment platform in this section For comparison BER perfor-mance we have measured the BER of the original OFDMconventional DCT precoded OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM with scaling Figure 10 shows the measured BERperformance results of the DCT precoded and scaled QPSKOFDM signal conventional precoded QPSK OFDM signaland original QPSK OFDM signal at a fixed sample rate of4Gss with the launch optical power of 6 dBm We can seethat the performance of the DCT precoded and scaled systemis better than that of the conventional DCT precoded OFDMand the original OFDM It can be seen that the receivedsensitivity of DCT precoded and scaled OFDM signal at theBER of 10minus3 after 100 km SMF transmission can be improvedby about 3 dB compared to the original OFDM signals and by13 dB compared to the conventional DCT precoded OFDMsignals

Reducing max[|119909119899

|] is the principle goal of PAPR reduc-tion techniques The precoding technique reduces the PAPRof OFDM signals without changing the average power of theoriginal OFDM signal

The PAPR performance of OFDM signal can be evaluatedusing the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF)TheCCDF of PAPR (namely119875

119888

) can be expressed as119875119888

= 119875PAPR gt PAPR0 where 119875119888

indicates the probabilitythat PAPR exceeds a particular value PAPR0

However due to the fact that the all-sample value of theDCT precoded OFDM signal is multiplied by a scaling factor120573 according to definition equation (31) the PAPR of scaledDCT precoded OFDM is the same as that of the conventionalDCTprecodedOFDMThePAPRperformance of theOFDMsystem can be evaluated using the complementary cumulativedistribution function (CCDF) Figure 6 shows the CCDFcomparisons of a QPSK signal of 50000 OFDM frames Weobserve that at CCDF = 10minus3 the PAPR of the DCT precodedQPSK OFDM signals may be reduced by 13 dB compared tothe original QPSK OFDM signals

In our experiment setup the OFDM data signals areproduced by MATLAB program Figures 7 and 8 show thetemporal waveforms of original OFDM and DCT precodedOFDM respectively We observe that the DCT precodedOFDM signal fluctuates less than the original OFDM signalThemaximumamplitude value andminimumamplitude valeof original OFDM signal are 38588 and minus35954 respectivelywhile the maximum amplitude and minimum amplitudeof DCT precoded OFDM signal are 35133 and minus34457respectively

For improving the systemBERperformancewe employedscaling to the conventional DCT precoded OFDM system Infollowing experiment the scaling factor of theDCTprecodedOFDM can be calculated by

120573 =119860max minus 119861min119886max minus 119887min

=38588 minus (minus35954)

35133 minus (minus34457)asymp 11 (32)

Thus the scaled DCT precoded OFDM is be amplifiedby 11 times compared to the conventional DCT precodedOFDM

Figure 9 shows the temporal waveform of DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal After scaling the maximum ampli-tude of the precoded and scaled OFDM signal is the same asthat of the original OFDM signal In following experimentthe generated OFDM signal is downloaded to an arbitrarywaveform (AWG) and normalized The normalized OFDMsignal has a peak-to-peak value of 1 volt

5 Conclusion

We have proposed a scaling scheme for a DCT precodedIMDD optical OFDM system This scheme can fully exploitthe dynamic range of a DAC and significantly improve theBER performance of systems The advantage of this scalingtechnique is that it does not require adding and hardwaredevice to the system We have experimentally researched theBER performance of a DCT precoded IMDD optical OFDMsystem with scaling in practical transmission experimentalsystem The experimental results show that the receivedsensitivity at a BER of 10minus3 for a 4Gss DCT precodedand scaled OFDM signal and after 100 km standard single-mode fiber transmission has been improved by 3 dB whencompared with the original OFDM systems in the SMFlink and by 13 dB when compared with the conventionalDCT precoded OFDM signals Thus the proposed scalingtechnique can be used for optical communication systemdesign
