ICI Mitigation for Pilot-Aided OFDM Mobile Systems
White Paper Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is robust against frequency selective fading due to the increase of the symbol duration. As delay spread increases, symbol duration should also increase in order to maintain a near-constant channel... [16 May 2008]

Asymptotic Performance of Transmit Diversity Via OFDM for Multipath Channels
White Paper The major drawback is that this system only works when a "Flat-fading" model for the channel is assumed; when used in a multipath environment, the system breaks down. Here it shows that when the Alamouti code is placed within an OFDM structure... [13 Apr 2007]

Optimum Beamforming for Pre-FFT OFDM Adaptive Antenna Array
White Paper It is well known that Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is robust to frequency-selective fading in wireless channels due to the exploitation of a guard interval that is inserted at the beginning of each OFDM symbol. [11 Apr 2007]

Data-Aided Timing Offset Estimation for Frequency Selective Fading Channels
White Paper A novel algorithm for Timing offset estimation is proposed in this paper for GSM and GPRS handsets, especially for multi-path channels with large delay-spread. The timing offset leads to errors in the channel response estimation with a consequent... [21 Nov 2005]
Increase in Co-Located Simultaneous Transmissions for CDMA Ad Hoc Networks
White Paper This paper shows that this trade off favors CDMA as the density of the network increases both for AWGN and fading channel. The improvement in capacity normalized are quantified by the cost in bandwidth expansion for a spread spectrum ad hoc network... [13 Oct 2005]
