Abstract

An effective communication application necessitates the cancellation of Impulsive Noise (IN) from Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), which is widely used for wireless applications due to its higher data rate and greater spectral efficiency. The OFDM system is typically corrupted by Impulsive Noise, which is an unwanted short-duration pulse with random amplitude and duration. Impulsive noise is created by humans and has non-Gaussian characteristics, causing problems in communication systems such as high capacity loss and poor error rate performance. Several techniques have been introduced in the literature to solve this type of problem, but they still have many issues that affect the performance of the presented methods. As a result, developing a new hybridization-based method is critical for accurate method performance. In this paper, we present a hybrid of a state space adaptive filter and an information coding technique for cancelling impulsive noise from OFDM. The proposed method is also compared to Least Mean Square (LMS), Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS), and Recursive Least Square (RLS) adaptive filters. It has also been tested using the binary phase-shift keyed (BPSK), four quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), sixteen QAM, and thirty-two QAM modulation techniques. Bit error Rate (BER) simulations are used to evaluate system performance, and improved performance is obtained. Furthermore, the proposed method is more effective than recent methods.
