Hybrid copper/fiber networks bridge the gap between the fiber link at the distribution point and the customer by using copper wires over the last meters. The G.fast technology has been designed to be used in such a fiber to the distribution point (FTTdp) network. Crosstalk management using MIMO precoding is a key to the required performance of FTTdp. With higher frequencies used on copper wires...

We investigate the application of the nested coding framework for cancelling known interference at low SNR, that is PX/PZ ≈ 1 and below. We consider multi-dimensional precoding, with anticipation of Ns > 1 “future” interference samples. Unlike non-precoded transmission, where capacity can be achieved at low SNR without shaping, optimum precoding at low SNR does require shaping. Eyuboglu and For...

By means of DFT-precoding, the PAPR of OFDM waveforms can be reduced. DFT-precoding has been proposed for uplink transmission in various future wireless communication systems. In this work, we consider DFT-precoding combined with spatial precoding for the uplink of multiuser MIMO OFDM systems. An efficient algorithm is developed to optimize the spatial precoder aiming at maximization of the sys...

Future Wireless Networks are expected to adopt multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) systems whose performance is maximized by making use of precoding at the transmitter. This chapter describes the recent advances in precoding design for MU-MIMO and introduces a new technique to improve the precoder performance. Without claiming to be comprehensive, the chapter gives deep introduc...

To reduce pilot contamination, a downlink precoding algorithm was put forward for Large-scale MIMO system. It set the Least Square (LS) criterion to the objective function, and then solved the precoding matrices with the Lagrange multiplier method. In the solving, it utilized not only the estimated channel information but also the pilot contamination information, which was acquired from some bl...

In this paper, we deal with the linear precoding techniques for 2-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying, where limited feedback is available at source and relay nodes. Among the various linear precoding schemes, we utilize quantized precoding technique which is more implementable than precoding schemes with full feedback due to short feedback length. Based on quantized precoding te...

The adoption of multiple antennas both at the transmitter and the receiver will explore additional spatial resources to provide substantial gain in system throughput with the spatial division multiple access (SDMA) technique. Optimal multiuser MIMO linear precoding is considered as a key issue in the area of multiuser MIMO research. The challenge in such multiuser system is designing the precod...

In Multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) systems, precoding is essential to eliminate or minimize the multiuser interference (MUI). However, the design of a suitable precoding algorithm with good overall performance and low computational complexity at the same time is quite challenging, especially with the increase of system dimensions. In this thesis, we explore the art of novel low-complexity high-perform...

In this paper, we first compare two classes of linear interference suppression techniques for downlink TDD-CDMA systems, namely, linear multiuser detection methods (receiver processing) and linear precoding methods (transmitter processing). For the linear precoding schemes, we assume that the channel state information (CSI) is available only at the transmitter but not at the receiver. We propos...

Based on an analysis of the error patterns in latticereduction (LR) precoding in a multiple-antenna broadcast channel, this paper proposes a simple precoding technique that can reduce the quantization error. The proposed scheme establishes a lattice list to provide more candidates for transmission power reduction based on the analysis of the patterns of the error in the LR precoding method [9]....
