In this paper, a soft decoding method is proposed for QAM-modulated coded OFDM systems. This technique efficiently mitigates the distortion caused by clipping the oversampled-OFDM signals. Because the main advantage of an OFDM system is its robustness in fading channels, where this system turns a frequency selective channel into a set of parallel flat non-selective fading sub-channels, in this paper, we analyze the performance of the proposed method over flat fading Rician sub-channels. Our simulation results show that the proposed soft decoding technique significantly outper-forms the conventional hard decoding method.
