document: Precoded OFDM with adaptive vector channel allocation for scalable video transmission over frequency-selective fading channels Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing -LRB- OFDM -RRB- has been applied in broadband wireline and wireless systems for high data rate transmission where severe intersymbol interference -LRB- ISI -RRB- always occurs . The conventional OFDM system provides advantages through conversion of an ISI channel into ISI-free subchannels at multiple frequency bands . However , it may suffer from channel spectral nulls and heavy data rate overhead due to cyclic prefix insertion . Previously , a new OFDM framework , the precoded OFDM , has been proposed to mitigate the above two problems through precoding and conversion of an ISI channel into ISI-free vector channels . In this paper , we consider the application of the precoded OFDM system to efficient scalable video transmission . We propose to enhance the precoded OFDM system with adaptive vector channel allocation to provide stronger protection against errors to more important layers in the layered bit stream structure of scalable video . The more critical layers , or equivalently , the lower layers , are allocated vector channels of higher transmission quality . The channel quality is characterized by Frobenius norm metrics ; based on channel estimation at the receiver . The channel allocation information is fed back periodically to the transmitter through a control channel . Simulation results have demonstrated the robustness of the proposed scheme to noise and fading inherent in wireless channels
