Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures http://standards.ieee.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chairhttp://standards.ieee.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf Carl R. StevensonCarl R. Stevenson as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.22 Working Group.

No additional complexity due to ISI. No need of modification of the matched "IOTA" filter.

12. doc.: IEEE 802.22-06/0018r1 Submission January 2006 Patrick Pirat, France TelecomSlide 12 OQAM/IOTA extra complexity wrt OFDM Modulator IFFT speed is twice but doesn't require extra hardware. A memory and processing reduction may be envisaged since the IFFT operates real numbers. A 8-taps complex filter with fixed coefficient (16 bits) and 3 symbol delay line memories (6K words of 16 bits) are used to filter the pilots sub-carriers. A 4-taps real filter with fixed coefficient (16 bits) and 3 symbol delay line memories (6K words of 16 bits) are used to realize the IOTA waveform.

A 8-taps complex filter with fixed coefficient (16 bits) and 3 symbol delay line memories (6K words of 16 bits) are used to filter the pilots sub-carriers. A 4-taps real filter with fixed coefficient (16 bits) and 3 symbol delay line memories (6K words of 16 bits) are used to remove the IOTA wavform. Channel estimation and equalisation are identical to OFDM.

Does this mean that the transmission channel will need to be time-invariant over this number of symbols? –No. Channel estimation mechanism is implemented as for OFDM. The system is to be designed primarily for fixed operation! –No. The good frequency localisation of IOTA is favorable to mobile applications. Refer to IEEE paper « OFDM with guard interval vs OFDM/OQAM for high data-rate UMTS downlink transmission » - D. Lacroix and al.

15. doc.: IEEE 802.22-06/0018r1 Submission January 2006 Patrick Pirat, France TelecomSlide 15 Q&A (2) Is there a way to include the cyclic prefix when IOTA is used? –Yes, but not useful and complexify the system.
