Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that attempt to increase spectral efficiency by using Faster- than-Nyquist (FTN) transmission. In one embodiment, a method at a transmitter includes partitioning bits into K bit streams, obtaining K power scaled symbol streams, combining the K power scaled symbol streams to obtain a stream of transmission symbols, and transmitting the stream of transmission symbols using FTN signaling. At the receiver, the received symbols are partitioned into K symbol streams, and demodulation and decoding is performed by: (i) demodulating and decoding the K th symbol stream of the K symbol streams to obtain a K th set of bits; (ii) mapping the K th set of bits to a K th set of symbols; and (iii) for each one of k = K— 1,...,1: demodulating and decoding a k th symbol stream of the K symbol streams to obtain a k th set of bits. The demodulating and decoding includes performing interference cancellation.
Abstract:
An interference mitigation apparatus, comprising: an adaptive feedforward filtering stage and an adaptive feedback filtering stage configured to produce a plurality of output signals from a plurality of frequency downconverted signals, the output signals for being provided to a data decoding stage; a plurality of phase rotators configured to apply phase rotation to the frequency downconverted signals prior to processing by the adaptive feedforward filtering stage and the adaptive feedback filtering stage; and an adaptive controller configured for varying an amount of the phase rotation applied by the phase rotators to the frequency downconverted signals based at least in part on symbol decisions made on the output signals. There may be second phase rotators configured to apply phase rotation after the adaptive feedforward filtering stage so as to produce the output signals for forwarding to the data decoding stage.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of precoded faster than Nyquist (FTN) signalling are provided. In the transmitter, Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding (THP) is applied to produce precoded symbols. The THP is based on inter-symbol interference (ISI) due to using faster than Nyquist (FTN) signalling. An inverse modulo operation is not performed in the receiver. Instead, in the receiver, FTN processing is performed based on a matched filter output by determining log a-posteriori probability ratio LAPPR values computed for an n th bit bn of a k th received symbol and pre-computed a-priori probabilities of an extended constellation for a given pulse shape h(t) and FTN acceleration factor combination.
