Recently much attention has been given to the design of timedomain equalizers or TEQs for discrete multitone modulation (DMT) systems. In this paper, we present a new method for the design of such equalizers which minimizes both the intersymbol interference (ISI) and noise power observed in a DMT system. Furthermore, we show how this method can be used for the design of fractionally spaced equa...

We introduce a novel subgradient optimization-based framework for iterative peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) reduction for multicarrier systems, such as wireless orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and wireline discrete multitone (DMT) very high-speed digital subscriber line (DMT-VDSL) systems. The proposed approach uses reserved or unused tones to minimize the peak magnitude of ...

We reconsider MMSE-based time-domain equalizer (TEQ), bitrate maximizing TEQ and per-tone equalizer design for DMT transmission. It is shown that they can all be formulated either as a constrained linear or a separable nonlinear least-squares problem. These least-squares formulations are then turned into generalized eigenvalue problems that allow to establish a remarkably close relationship bet...

This paper compares two multiuser transmission techniques in the context of wideband upstream powerline communications. The first one is based on the combination of CAP and CDMA, the second one is based on DMT and relies on a share of the different carriers among the users. The issue of reception under ideal synchronisation assumptions and a simplified noise environment is addressed. Fractional...

This paper studies the transmission control protocol (TCP) performance over a discrete multi-tone (DMT) based asymmetric digital subscriber loop (ADSL) network. The impact of DMT subchannel bit loading on the TCP throughput performance is studied. The simulation results show that there is a threshold for the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gap or bit error rate (BER) above which TCP throughput drop...
