Abstract

The performance of multi-user orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with raised cosine time domain pulse shaping is studied on the satellite mobile channel (SMC). The relationship between the requirement of the synchronization and the roll-off rate (β) of the pulse shaping is explored. In Gaussian and typical Rician (K=10) channels multi-user OFDM with β=0.2 requires timing and carrier frequency synchronization accuracies of 4% and 2%, respectively, in order to avoid severe degradation due to multi-user adjacent channel interference, while on Rayleigh channels these values must be better than 2% and 1%
