Efficient Fast-Convolution-Based Waveform Processing for 5G Physical Layer
This paper investigates the application of fast-convolution (FC) filtering
schemes for flexible and effective waveform generation and processing in the
fifth generation (5G) systems. FC-based filtering is presented as a generic
multimode waveform processing engine while, following the progress of 5G new
radio standardization in the Third-Generation Partnership Project, the main
focus is on efficient generation and processing of subband-filtered cyclic
prefix orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) signals. First, a
matrix model for analyzing FC filter processing responses is presented and used
for designing optimized multiplexing of filtered groups of CP-OFDM physical
resource blocks (PRBs) in a spectrally well-localized manner, i.e., with narrow
guardbands. Subband filtering is able to suppress interference leakage between
adjacent subbands, thus supporting independent waveform parametrization and
different numerologies for different groups of PRBs, as well as asynchronous
multiuser operation in uplink. These are central ingredients in the 5G waveform
developments, particularly at sub-6-GHz bands. The FC filter optimization
criterion is passband error vector magnitude minimization subject to a given
subband band-limitation constraint. Optimized designs with different guardband
widths, PRB group sizes, and essential design parameters are compared in terms
of interference levels and implementation complexity. Finally, extensive coded
5G radio link simulation results are presented to compare the proposed approach
with other subband-filtered CP-OFDM schemes and time-domain windowing methods,
considering cases with different numerologies or asynchronous transmissions in
adjacent subbands. Also the feasibility of using independent transmitter and
receiver processing for CP-OFDM spectrum control is demonstrated
Subband filtered multi-carrier systems for multi-service wireless communications
Flexibly supporting multiple services, each with different communication requirements and frame structure, has been identified as one of the most significant and promising characteristics of next generation and beyond wireless communication systems. However, integrating multiple frame structures with different subcarrier spacing in one radio carrier may result in significant inter-service-band-interference (ISBI). In this paper, a framework for multi-service (MS) systems is established based on a subband filtered multi-carrier system. The subband filtering implementations and both asynchronous and generalized synchronous (GS) MS subband filtered multi-carrier (SFMC) systems have been proposed. Based on the GS-MS-SFMC system, the system model with ISBI is derived and a number of properties on ISBI are given. In addition, low-complexity ISBI cancelation algorithms are proposed by precoding the information symbols at the transmitter. For asynchronous MS-SFMC system in the presence of transceiver imperfections, including carrier frequency offset, timing offset, and phase noise, a complete analytical system model is established in terms of desired signal, inter-symbol-interference, inter-carrier-interference, ISBI, and noise. Thereafter, new channel equalization algorithms are proposed by considering the errors and imperfections. Numerical analysis shows that the analytical results match the simulation results, and the proposed ISBI cancelation and equalization algorithms can significantly improve the system performance in comparison with the existing algorithms
Exploring the structure of a real-time, arbitrary neural artistic stylization network
In this paper, we present a method which combines the flexibility of the
neural algorithm of artistic style with the speed of fast style transfer
networks to allow real-time stylization using any content/style image pair. We
build upon recent work leveraging conditional instance normalization for
multi-style transfer networks by learning to predict the conditional instance
normalization parameters directly from a style image. The model is successfully
trained on a corpus of roughly 80,000 paintings and is able to generalize to
paintings previously unobserved. We demonstrate that the learned embedding
space is smooth and contains a rich structure and organizes semantic
information associated with paintings in an entirely unsupervised manner.Comment: Accepted as an oral presentation at British Machine Vision Conference
