I. I NTRODUCTION
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an
effective way of transmission over wireless fading channels.
OFDM is adopted by most recent wireless standards (such as
4G LTE and WiMAX) due to its robustness to multipath fading
environment and simple transceiver design [1]. It ensures high
data rate transmission over frequency selective channels, due
to its high spectral efficiency.
If the channel information is available at the transmitter,
further improvement in the spectral efficiency can be obtained
through precoding [2]. A precoder processes the data at the
transmitter before the multicarrier modulation takes place [3].
Conventional precoders generally reshape the spectrum such
that the best power allocation over the orthogonal channels is
achieved. Different criteria are used to design the precoder,
including maximizing capacity [4], [5], maximizing signal to
noise ratio (SNR) [6], minimizing error rates [3] minimizing
mean square errors [5], [7], [8] and minimizing interference
[9], [10] criteria.
In [7], a precoder design for a single carrier - single
input single output (SISO) system using nonmaximally decimated multirate filter bank is introduced. Precoding has been
extensively studied in fading evironment for Multiple-Input
Multiple-output (MIMO) systems [2], [5], [6] and MIMOOFDM systems [3], [11]. However, most of the present precoder design methodologies in the literature, ignore possible
existence of jamming. Hostile jamming signals are radio
frequency signals that are sent intentionally to disrupt legitimate wireless transmissions. It would severely degrade the
performance and lower the spectral efficiency. Therefore, jamming represents a serious threat to the reliability of wireless
communications.
In this paper, we consider precoder design for OFDM
systems under multi-tone jamming [12]. In the multi-tone
jamming model, some subcarriers are affected by a strong
jamming (interfering) signal. Our approach is to find the optimal precoder and the corresponding decoder that minimize the
mean square error (MSE) between the transmitted and the estimated symbols, subject to the total transmit power constraint.
We derive a closed-form expression for the precoder and
the decoder under multi-tone jamming. The performance of
the proposed design is demonstrated using several simulation
examples. It is observed that adding controlled redundancy at
symbol level through precoding is an effective way to mitigate
hostile jamming interference. Several settings are examined
and it is shown that the precoder setting has a significant
impact on the overall system performance.
This paper is organized as follows: the system model and
the problem formulation are presented in II. The joint precoder
and decoder design under multi-tone jamming is provided in
section III. The performance evaluation is provided in section
IV. Finally, the paper is concluded in section V.
II. P ROBLEM F ORMULATION
We consider OFDM system model equipped with transmit
precoder as shown in Figure 1. In our model, the input bits
is first mapped to QAM symbols. Let represents the QPSK
constellation and X = [x1 , x2 , ..., xK ]T is the data vector after
QAM mapping, where xi , K is the length of the input
symbol vector, and (.)T denotes the transpose of the vector. We
assume that the elements of X are independent and identically
distributed, with symbol power S2 . After QAM mapping, the
symbol level precoder is applied.
The Nc K precoder matrix is denoted by P . That is:

The frequency representation of n
is denoted by N , then
N = F Hn

then N is also a Gaussian random vector with zero mean and

its frequency domain representation as J, then J = F H j.
We assume time invariant multi-tone random jamming
model [12], where some of the subcarriers/tones are jammed.
The jamming location can be detected at the receiver using
pilot signals. We define the vector Nj = [Nj1 , Nj2 , ...NjNc ]
such that Nji = i if subcarrier i is jammed, and equals to
zero elsewhere. The covariance matrix of the jamming signal
where I = diag({(i Nji )}Nc ).
is E(J H J) = J2 I,

At the receiver side, first, the cyclic prefix is removed. We
assume that the cyclic prefix length is greater than the channel
length l. FFT is then applied obtaining:
