Noise optimized eigenfilter design of time-domain equalizers for DMT systems
The design of time-domain equalizers or TEQs for discrete multitone modulation (DMT) systems has recently received much attention. In this paper, we present a generalization of one such design method which takes into account the noise observed in a DMT channel. Furthermore, we show how this generalization can be used for the design of fractionally spaced equalizers or FSEs. Experimental results are presented showing that our design method performs better than other known techniques
The Channel Shortening comparison between OFDM & MC-CDMA System over an ADSL Channel using a Water-filling
In this paper our objective focuses on the development of digital transmission techniques in order to solve the problem of Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) due to multiple paths and the improvement of Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system performance. The both algorithm: MERRY algorithm (Multicarrier Equalization by Restoration of Redundancy) called TEQ (Time domain EQualizer) and the power allocation method to allocate appropriate power to each user (Water-filling technique (WF)) [1] is used. Finally, the numerical results show that combining Water Filling with TEQ technique allows to reduce the ISI for MC-CDMA systems
A blind channel shortening for multiuser, multicarrier CDMA system over multipath fading channel
In this paper we derive the Multicarrier Equalization by Restoration of Redundancy (MERRY) algorithm: A blind, adaptive channel shortening algorithm for updating a Time-domain Equalizer (TEQ) in a system employing MultiCarrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) modulation. We show that the MERRY algorithm applied to the MC-CDMA system converges considerably more rapidly than in the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system [1]. Simulations results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the algorithm

Real-time wireless networks for industrial control systems
The next generation of industrial systems (Industry 4.0) will dramatically transform manyproductive sectors, integrating emerging concepts such as Internet of Things, artificialintelligence, big data, cloud robotics and virtual reality, to name a few. Most of thesetechnologies heavily rely on the availability of communication networks able to offernearly–istantaneous, secure and reliable data transfer. In the industrial sector, these
tasks are nowadays mainly accomplished by wired networks, that combine the speed ofoptical fiber media with collision–free switching technology.
However, driven by the pervasive deployment of mobile devices for personal com-munications in the last years, more and more industrial applications require wireless connectivity, which can bring enormous advantages in terms of cost reduction and flex-ibility. Designing timely, reliable and deterministic industrial wireless networks is a complicated task, due to the nature of the wireless channel, intrinsically error–prone andshared among all the devices transmitting on the same frequency band.
In this thesis, several solutions to enhance the performance of wireless networks employed in industrial control applications are proposed. The presented approaches differ in terms of achieved performance and target applications, but they are all characterized by an improvement over existing industrial wireless solutions in terms of timeliness, reliability and determinism. When possible, an experimental validation of the designed
solutions is provided.
The obtained results prove that significant performance improvements are already possible, often using commercially available devices and preserving compliance to existing standards. Future research efforts, combined with the availability of new chipsets and
standards, could lead to a world where wireless links effectively replace most of the existing cables in industrial environments, as it is already the case in the consumer market
