Abstract:
Single carrier frequency division multiple access SC-FDMA) is the access technique which is used in the long term evolution (LTE) uplink in order to reduce the peak to-average power ratio (PAPR). The LTE uplink uses this technique in joint application with turbo coding and high order modulations to achieve peak data rates up to 86 Mbps within 20 MHz bandwidth. This paper introduces a semi analytical method for predicting the turbo coded SC-FDMA performance in terms of bit error rate(BER). Simulation results have shown that the BER obtained with the proposed method is close to that measured by Monte-Carlo simulation method.
