Uplink CoMP under a Constrained Backhaul and Imperfect Channel Knowledge
Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) is known to be a key technology for next
generation mobile communications systems, as it allows to overcome the burden
of inter-cell interference. Especially in the uplink, it is likely that
interference exploitation schemes will be used in the near future, as they can
be used with legacy terminals and require no or little changes in
standardization. Major drawbacks, however, are the extent of additional
backhaul infrastructure needed, and the sensitivity to imperfect channel
knowledge. This paper jointly addresses both issues in a new framework
incorporating a multitude of proposed theoretical uplink CoMP concepts, which
are then put into perspective with practical CoMP algorithms. This
comprehensive analysis provides new insight into the potential usage of uplink
CoMP in next generation wireless communications systems.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications in February

Conjugate-Root Offset-QAM for Orthogonal Multicarrier Transmission
Current implementations of OFDM/OQAM are restricted to band-limited symmetric
filters. To circumvent this, non-symmetric conjugate root (CR) filters are
proposed for OQAM modulation. The system is applied to Generalized Frequency
Division Multiplexing (GFDM) and a method for achieving transmit diversity with
OQAM modulation is presented. The proposal reduces implementation complexity
compared to existing works and provides a more regular phase space.
GFDM/CR-OQAM outperforms conventional GFDM in terms of symbol error rate in
fading multipath channels and provides a more localized spectrum compared to
conventional OQAM.Comment: 4pages, revised version submitted to IEEE WC
