Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a model for estimating the error floor in a small-time-dispersion environment - typically indoor, where both channel and overall OFDM symbol are represented stochastically. The developed novel model for the error floor prediction involves modified common channel time dispersion parameters as well as the ones characterizing the OFDM signal. The validity of the model was confirmed by the results of the corresponding Monte-Carlo simulations.
