### Flat fading criterion of OFDM subcarrier spacing

Your mathematical derivation is correct, your $H[k]$ is the single-tap equalizer (i.e. one tap for each subcarrier, and the subcarriers do not mix with each other. That's the orthogonal in OFDM). ...

### Educational purpose - What is the correct way to simulate a multipath fading channel which has ISI

Lets say we want to transmit a sequence of discrete data $\left\lbrace x[n] \right\rbrace$. But because we are living in analog world, the sequence must be modulated. Call $T_s$ is symbol duration ...

### What's the effect of spread spectrum on frequency- selective channel

In brief, we consider the channel as frequency-selective channel if the frequency of the signal is larger than then frequency of channel No offense, but that ought to win the prize for the least-...

### Flat fading criterion of OFDM subcarrier spacing

There's a lot of very valid aspects that you touch, but from what I've learned (and experienced having fun with OFDM SDR transceivers), the main reasoning to do OFDM is having a narrow-channel ...

### Channel modelling for wireless body area network

IEEE 802.15.4a defines multiple bands from 2.4 to 10 GHz for operation. You should focus on one. Not sure you're actually looking for diffraction and not more for backscatter from surrounding objects ...

### Brief introduction to wireless communication and communication terminologies

Well, these are very fundamental questions, and I think they are written in any good book. But maybe it's hard to extract the exact information from them, which you ask for. So, let me briefly answer: ...

### MIMO System Model in Matlab

In a wireless system, most of the noise is added by the receiver itself. The received signal is very weak (-100 dB or less is typical), and its power is comparable to the thermal noise of the receiver'...

### why did convolution coding achieve BER less than Reed-Solomon?

Reed-Solomon codes are good for correcting bursts of errors (such as those that often occur in computer memory systems such as RAM, or on less volatile media such as CDs and DVDs) or at the output of ...

### Correct way to simulate Rayleigh fading for indoor environments

Your question is quite unclear, but it seems like you're trying to simulate the continuous-time radio channel. In this model, you do not multiply by complex coefficients; rather, you add delayed and ...

### Cyclic prefix length in baseband OFDM with ZF equalizer

The channel which you have created is having 4-Taps and all taps are one after the other, meaning roughly there are 4 multi-paths and they are very close to each other. How close depends on what is ...

### what does mean quasi-static channel

Quasi-static channels can be said as "block-wise" time (in)variant. For example, your channel has no variations over time (not in delay domain) for some time-period, e.g., 1 ms, but the channel may ...

### Intersymbol interference due to limited channel bandwidth

Here is a graphic I have that demonstrates ISI due to multipath propogation: Notice the eye diagram in the upper right hand corner showing what we should receive if there was no ISI, or other noise ...

### Is the Channel shortening similar to Time domain Equalizer (TEQ)

Most likely people use different words to describe the same concept. This happens quite often. The TEQ is the more general term and also used to equalize other methods that OFDM, while CS is related ...

### How can I generate time-variant Rayleigh channel in MATLAB

Yes, you can have time variant channel in MATLAB either by using comm.RayleighChannel() , you can read about it in help of matlab. or the other way you use the ...

### Digital communication BER performance

OK, let me explain that in easier way, As you know, in a communication system, to transmit information from transmitter to receiver, we use the binary information system. which means, for example, ...

For BPSK it's $$P_e = \frac{1}{2}\left[1 - \sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{\gamma+1}}\right]$$ where $\gamma$ is the average SNR. For 16-QAM, I am not sure if there is a closed-form solution. Check this book. ...
