Better wavelet packet tree based OFDM for multipath powerline channel

Abstract

In this work, better wavelet packet tree structures are searched to reduce the sum of ISI and ICI powers (integrated power) in Daubechies wavelet-based OFDM system over a practical two path low-voltage powerline channel or two way multipath channel. Better wavelet tree structures are obtained by using a brute-force algorithm. Results show that better wavelet packet tree structures perform better than conventional Mallat structures for the same bandwidth occupancy. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
