Trouble in generate SER in OFDM

hi all ,

Recently , I have generated a OFDM signal , but meanwhile I have noticed
that my Analytical & Computer Simulation of my SER are totally difference,
Moreover , the Numbers of Errors in my signal also quite large, therefore i
am wondering whether there are some Errors in my signal detection or the
progress of generate OFDM signal. Actually I should generate channel
estimation of OFDM signal , but i have stuck at this part quite long time
, therefore i am really need help from all of you with my sincere.

Thank you.

Eric

Eric,

Your code is quite confusing to follow.  I'm not entirely certain what
the F=ifft(eye(.....))) is all about?  When you say that you have
generated an OFDM signal have you actually veriifed the performance
with the theoretical AWGN, without sticking it through a channel?
Have a look at this link for a freq flat fading to get some ideas and
then come back with questions.

Thanks col , I have checked your code , & i think i have get some idea.
I am wondering that maybe i have the same problem with Shahin. Actually i
have skipped the step in insert cyclic prefix & remove cyclic prefix in my
code , since i assume the process is ideal. Therefore there is no IBI.
Meanwhile , there is only the AWGN might affect my SER , but i really no
idea , why the theoretical SER & simulate SER is totally difference , &
the number of error is too large.   

the  F=ifft(eye(.....))) & direct ifft the transmitted signal actually is
the same , since i am try to do in block transmission & equalization.

And I am referring this Journal
