Optimal multi-user spectrum balancing for digital subscriber lines
Crosstalk is a major issue in modern digital subscriber line (DSL) systems such as ADSL and VDSL. Static spectrum management, which is the traditional way of ensuring spectral compatibility, employs spectral masks that can be overly conservative and lead to poor performance. This paper presents a centralized algorithm for optimal spectrum balancing in DSL. The algorithm uses the dual decomposition method to optimize spectra in an efficient and computationally tractable way. The algorithm shows significant performance gains over existing dynamic spectrum management (DSM) techniques, e.g., in one of the cases studied, the proposed centralized algorithm leads to a factor-of-four increase in data rate over the distributed DSM algorithm iterative waterfilling
Mitigation of impulsive noise for SISO and MIMO G.fast system
To address the demand for high bandwidth data transmission over telephone transmission lines, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
has recently completed the fourth generation broadband (4GBB) copper
access network technology, known as G.fast.
Throughout this thesis, extensively investigates the wired broadband
G.fast coding system and the novel impulsive noise reduction technique
has been proposed to improve the performance of wired communications
network in three different scenarios: single-line Discrete Multiple Tone
(DMT)- G.fast system; a multiple input multiple-output (MIMO) DMTG.fast system, and MIMO G.fast system with different crosstalk cancellation methods. For each of these scenarios, however, Impulsive Noise
(IN) is considered as the main limiting factor of performance system.
In order to improve the performance of such systems, which use higher
order QAM constellation such as G.fast system, this thesis examines the
performance of DMT G.fast system over copper channel for six different
higher signal constellations of M = 32, 128, 512, 2048, 8192 and 32768 in
presence of IN modelled as the Middleton Class A (MCA) noise source.
In contrast to existing work, this thesis presents and derives a novel
equation of Optimal Threshold (OT) to improve the IN frequency domain mitigation methods applied to the G.fast standard over copper
channel with higher QAM signal constellations. The second scenario,
Multi-Line Copper Wire (MLCW) G.fast is adopted utilizing the proposed MLCW Chen model and is compared to a single line G-fast system
by a comparative analysis in terms of Bit-Error-Rate(BER) performance
of implementation of MLCW-DMT G.fast system. The third scenario,
linear and non-linear crosstalk crosstalk interference cancellation methods are applied to MLCW G.fas and compared by a comparative analysis
in terms of BER performance and the complexity of implementation.University of

MIMO Systems
In recent years, it was realized that the MIMO communication systems seems to be inevitable in accelerated evolution of high data rates applications due to their potential to dramatically increase the spectral efficiency and simultaneously sending individual information to the corresponding users in wireless systems. This book, intends to provide highlights of the current research topics in the field of MIMO system, to offer a snapshot of the recent advances and major issues faced today by the researchers in the MIMO related areas. The book is written by specialists working in universities and research centers all over the world to cover the fundamental principles and main advanced topics on high data rates wireless communications systems over MIMO channels. Moreover, the book has the advantage of providing a collection of applications that are completely independent and self-contained; thus, the interested reader can choose any chapter and skip to another without losing continuity
Discrete Wavelet Transforms
The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) algorithms have a firm position in processing of signals in several areas of research and industry. As DWT provides both octave-scale frequency and spatial timing of the analyzed signal, it is constantly used to solve and treat more and more advanced problems. The present book: Discrete Wavelet Transforms: Algorithms and Applications reviews the recent progress in discrete wavelet transform algorithms and applications. The book covers a wide range of methods (e.g. lifting, shift invariance, multi-scale analysis) for constructing DWTs. The book chapters are organized into four major parts. Part I describes the progress in hardware implementations of the DWT algorithms. Applications include multitone modulation for ADSL and equalization techniques, a scalable architecture for FPGA-implementation, lifting based algorithm for VLSI implementation, comparison between DWT and FFT based OFDM and modified SPIHT codec. Part II addresses image processing algorithms such as multiresolution approach for edge detection, low bit rate image compression, low complexity implementation of CQF wavelets and compression of multi-component images. Part III focuses watermaking DWT algorithms. Finally, Part IV describes shift invariant DWTs, DC lossless property, DWT based analysis and estimation of colored noise and an application of the wavelet Galerkin method. The chapters of the present book consist of both tutorial and highly advanced material. Therefore, the book is intended to be a reference text for graduate students and researchers to obtain state-of-the-art knowledge on specific applications
VLSI Design of a Digital RFI Cancellation Scheme for VDSL Transceivers
In this paper a digital RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) canceller for DMT (Discrete MultiTone modulation) based VDSL (Very high speed Digital Subscriber Line) systems is presented. The adopted algorithm is optimized in terms of performance vs. complexity and size of the involved memories. High level, maximum precision system simulations showed the effectiveness of the cancellation scheme, considering VDSL performance parameters such as bit rate and efficiency in counteracting performance degradation due to RFI. The canceller has been implemented as a hardware macro-cell: the design space already explored at algorithm level to meet a good complexity/performance trade-off, has been deeply investigated during the bit true analysis to fix the finite numeric representation, the micro-architecture definition and the final technology mapping. Results of logic synthesis on a standard cells 0.18 μm CMOS technology are reported, in terms of area and energy consumption
