Single- and Multicarrier Transmission in Multipoint-to-Point Scenarios with Intersymbol Interference: A Comparison
نویسندگان
چکیده
Equalization schemes for multipoint-to-point scenarios (multiple access problem) where the transmission paths exhibit intersymbol interference are investigated. In particular, singlecarrier modulation employing decision-feedback equalization, multicarrier modulation employing BLAST per carrier, and frequency-division multiplexing in disjoint frequency bands are considered. The rate regions, i.e., the region of admissible rates of the users, for these approaches are given and compared. It is shown, that despite singleand multicarrier transmission can achieve the same sum rate, in each case MIMO OFDM offers the largest rate region. The results are illustrated via numerical examples.

Single- and multicarrier transmission in up- and downlink scenarios with intersymbol interference: a comparison
Upand downlink transmission over MIMO channels where the transmission paths exhibit intersymbol interference are studied. Equalisation schemes for multipoint-topoint scenarios (multiple access problem, uplink) and precoding schemes for point-to-multipoint scenarios (broadcast channel, downlink) are investigated. In particular, singlecarrier modulation employing decision-feedback equalisation/pr...
متن کاملRate Regions for Multicarrier Point-to-Multipoint Transmission over Channels with Intersymbol Interference
Point-to-multipoint (downlink) transmission from a central base station to multiple spatially scattered receivers over frequency-selective channels is considered. Multiple-input/multiple-output multicarrier transmission with spatial Tomlinson-Harashima precoding per carrier is compared to other transmission schemes in terms of the achievable rate regions. To derive the rate regions the respecti...
متن کاملRate Regions for Multipoint-to-point-transmission over Channels with Intersymbol Interference
Transmission of several scattered users to a central base station over frequency-selective channels (multiple access problem) is considered. Multicarrier transmission and frequencydivision multiplexing in disjoint bands are assessed with regard to the achievable rate regions. The application of power loading in these schemes aiming at a maximization of the rate regions is discussed. Performance...
متن کاملPoint-to-Point Transmission over MIMO Channels with Intersymbol Interference: Comparison of Single- and Multicarrier Modulation
Two basic concepts for point-to-point transmission over multiple-input/multiple-output channels with intersymbol interference (MIMO ISI channels) are reviewed and compared. The approaches can be characterized by the way how they deal with multiuser (spatial equalization) and intersymbol interference (temporal equalization). In MIMO orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, temporal equalizati...
متن کاملThe Cyclic Prefix of OFDM/DMT – An Analysis
We address the impact of a too short cyclic prefix on multicarrier systems such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) and Discrete MultiTone (DMT). The main result is that the intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI) may be spectrally concentrated and analytical expressions showing this are given. A practical implication is, e.g., that the cyclic prefix in ...
