One common feature of many current wireless standards for high-rate multimedia transmission is the adoption of a multicarrier air interface based on either orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) or orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA). The latest examples of this trend are represented by the IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16 families of standards for wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs). Although the basic principle of OFDM/OFDMA is well established among researchers and communication engineers, its practical implementation is far from being trivial as it requires rather sophisticated signal processing techniques in order to fully achieve the attainable system performance. This book is intended to provide an accessible introduction to OFDMbased systems from a signal processing perspective. The first part provides a co
