Abstract

Disclosed is a method for adjusting FFT window of OFDM system. The method is categorized two scenarios when the maximum delay length of the channel is shorter than the guard interval length and when the maximum delay length of the channel is longer than the guard interval length. In respective scenarios, the method comprises steps: Step A, multiplying the guard interval (A1) damaged due to the path fading channel delay by a weighted value (α); Step B, multiplying the guard interval (A2) not damaged due to the path fading channel delay by a weighted value (1-α); and Step C, Adding the guard intervals of Step A and Step B together (A3) to be inputted into FFT; minimizing the inter-symbol interference, the inter-channel interference and the noise.

Claims (54)

1. A method for adjusting a fast fourier transform (FFT) window in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, comprising:

Step A, multiplying a guard interval damaged due to a path fading channel delay by a weighted value (α) when a maximum delay length of a channel is shorter than a guard interval length;

Step B, multiplying a undamaged guard interval not damaged due to the path fading channel delay by a weighted value (1-α); and

Step C, adding the guard interval of Step A and the undamaged guard interval of Step B together to be inputted into FFT.

2. The method for adjusting the FFT window according to claim 1 , wherein the weighted value (α) is determined by the following equation:

α

=

;

wherein, P S2 is an average power of a symbol passing through a second path, and P N is an average power of noises.

3. A method for adjusting a FFT window in an OFDM system, comprising:

Step A, multiplying an interval at a FFT starting position by a weighted value (α) when a maximum delay length of the channel is longer than a guard interval length;

Step B, multiplying an interval at a FFT ending position by a weighted value (1-α); and

Step C, adding the multiplied interval of Step A and the multiplied interval of Step B together to be inputted into FFT.

4. The method for adjusting the FFT window according to claim 3 , wherein the weighted value (α) is determined by the following equation:
