Access Point Repeaters
(Published Nov 2001)
The high multipath tolerance of OFDM can be exploited to reduce the path loss experienced in WLAN systems. Simple repeaters can be used to reduce shadowing with in buildings, improving signal coverage.

Adaptive Modulation
(Published Dec 1999)
OFDM allows different modulations to be used on each of the carriers in the system. This allows the system to track frequency selective fading caused by multipath propagation.

Multiuser OFDM
(Published Aug 1999)
This paper is an introduction to the use of OFDM in multiuser applications and some of the potential techniques that can be used to make a multiuser OFDM system a highly robust, high spectral efficient communication system.

Peak Reduction of OFDM
(Published Aug 1999)
OFDM waveforms tend to have a high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). This PAPR can be reduced by adding additional carriers which have their phase controlled to minimise the overall PAPR of the OFDM symbol.
