Impact of Spectrum Sharing on the Efficiency of Faster-Than-Nyquist Signaling
Capacity computations are presented for Faster-Than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling
in the presence of interference from neighboring frequency bands. It is shown
that Shannon's sinc pulses maximize the spectral efficiency for a multi-access
channel, where spectral efficiency is defined as the sum rate in bits per
second per Hertz. Comparisons using root raised cosine pulses show that the
spectral efficiency decreases monotonically with the roll-off factor. At high
signal-to-noise ratio, these pulses have an additive gap to capacity that
increases monotonically with the roll-off factor.Comment: IEEE copyrights notice applies. This paper is accepted at WCNC 201
Multipath Multiplexing for Capacity Enhancement in SIMO Wireless Systems
This paper proposes a novel and simple orthogonal faster than Nyquist (OFTN)
data transmission and detection approach for a single input multiple output
(SIMO) system. It is assumed that the signal having a bandwidth is
transmitted through a wireless channel with multipath components. Under
this assumption, the current paper provides a novel and simple OFTN
transmission and symbol-by-symbol detection approach that exploits the
multiplexing gain obtained by the multipath characteristic of wideband wireless
channels. It is shown that the proposed design can achieve a higher
transmission rate than the existing one (i.e., orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM)). Furthermore, the achievable rate gap between the proposed
approach and that of the OFDM increases as the number of receiver antennas
increases for a fixed value of . This implies that the performance gain of
the proposed approach can be very significant for a large-scale multi-antenna
wireless system. The superiority of the proposed approach is shown
theoretically and confirmed via numerical simulations. {Specifically, we have
found {upper-bound average} rates of 15 bps/Hz and 28 bps/Hz with the OFDM and
proposed approaches, respectively, in a Rayleigh fading channel with 32 receive
antennas and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 15.3 dB. The extension of the
proposed approach for different system setups and associated research problems
is also discussed.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
