The DFT based OFDM has currently been mostly focused in the area of wireless communications.To attain to a high level QOS and reduce ISI
cyclic prefixes are inserted between DFT-OFDM symbols
which decrease the efficiency of spectrum.To improve spectrum efficiency
a complex wavelet packet transform based OFDM (CWP-OFDM) is proposed in this paper and used to compare with the DFT-OFDM under the same conditions.Simulation results show that
over GSM TU50 channels
when there is a much higher efficiency in using wireless spectrum
CWP-OFDM performs the same as or better than DFT-OFDM.
