This new modulation enhances the outage capacity performance of bursty communications. The a-OFDM scheme is easily implementable as it only requires an additional time symbol rotation after the IDFT stage and a subsequent phase rotation of the cyclic prefix. The physical effect of the induced rotation is to slide the DFT window over the frequency spectrum. When successively used with different angles a at the symbol rate a-OFDM provides frequency diversity in block fading channels. Interestingly simulation results show a substantial gain in terms of outage capacity and outage BER in comparison with classical OFDM modulation schemes. The framework is extended to multiantenna and multicellular OFDM-based standards. Practical simulations in the context of 3GPP-LTE called hereafter a-LTE sustain our theoretical claims.
