Ordered Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding in G.fast Downstream
G.fast is an upcoming next generation DSL standard envisioned to use
bandwidth up to 212 MHz. Far-end crosstalk (FEXT) at these frequencies greatly
overcomes direct links. Its cancellation based on non-linear
Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding (THP) proved to show significant advantage over
standard linear precoding. This paper proposes a novel THP structure in which
ordering of successive interference pre-cancellation can be optimized for
downstream with non-cooperating receivers. The optimized scheme is compared to
existing THP structure denoted as equal-rate THP which is widely adopted in
wireless downlink. Structure and performance of both methods differ
significantly favoring the proposed scheme. The ordering that maximizes the
minimum rate (max-min fairness) for each tone of the discrete multi-tone
modulation is the familiar V-BLAST ordering. However, V-BLAST does not lead to
the global maximum when applied independently on each tone. The proposed novel
Dynamic Ordering (DO) strategy takes into account asymmetric channel statistics
to yield the highest minimum aggregated rate.Comment: 7 pages, 11 figures, Accepted at the 2015 IEEE Globecom 2015,

Cooperative Communications with Partial Channel State Information in Mobile Radio Systems
Future 4G mobile radio cellular networks are considered OFDM-MIMO systems. Cooperative communication based on coordinated base stations is a very promising concept to perform inter-cell interference management. This thesis deals with the concept of cooperative communication from its information-theoretic background to its practical system design. The main focus is a practical design of the joint detection scheme in the uplink and the joint transmission scheme in the downlink with partial channel-state information (CSI), i.e., significant CSI and imperfect CSI.Zukünftige zellulare 4G-Mobilfunksysteme können als OFDM-MIMO-Systeme betrachtet werden. In solchen zukünftigen Mobilfunksystemen ist kooperative Kommunikation, basierend auf koordinierten Basisstationen, ein sehr vielversprechendes Konzept zum Interzellinterferenzmanagement. Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt das Konzept der kooperativen Kommunikation vom informationstheoretischen Hintergrund bis hin zum praktischen Systemdesign. Der Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt auf dem praktischen Design kooperativer Kommunikationssysteme mit partieller Kanalkenntnis
