Abstract: Spectrum usage due to an increasing number of mobile users using services like audio, video, and images is one of the challengings for wireless communication. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the promising techniques to increase spectral efficiency. However, the conventional OFDM using fast fourier transform (FFT) still has the drawback of reducing spectral efficiency. Discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) has been used as an alternative method replacing FFT to increase the spectral efficiency. This paper presents the fundamental of wavelets and their significance in wireless communication. A review of the literature has been done on how the DWT-OFDM performs better when compared to FFT-OFDM and on diversity technique such as transmit and receive diversity. The advantages of using diversity at both receiver and transmitter, i.e., Multiple inputs and multiple output systems and the overview of the technique is also considered. The flexibility, improve in the performance of BER, mitigate the interference DWT-OFDM with diversity at both transmitter and receiver provides emerging technology for future generation.
