Modern wireless communication systems demand for high power and broadband devices. There are different technologies emerging offering more and more power density, with single devices delivering power levels above 100 watts. These devices are targeted for broadband telecommunications like W-CDMA or Wi-Fi application. Intermodulation distortion is very critical in these applications because it ge...

Broadband access network technologies such as ADSL and FTTH (Fiber To The Home) are becoming increasingly popular in Japan. In line with this trend, new broadband content delivery services using streaming technology and CDN technology are starting to appear. However, there are various issues that need to be addressed in order to provide highquality services. This position aims to encourage disc...

As wireless communication evolves towards 5G, both fixed broadband and mobile broadband will play a crucial part in providing the Gbps infrastructure for a connected society. This paper proposes a Millimeter-wave Gbps Broadband (MGB) system as the solution to two critical problems in this evolution: last-mile access for fixed broadband and small cell backhaul for mobile broadband. The key idea ...

The Cellular Fixed Broadband Access System for LMCS (Local Multipoint Communication Services) is aiming to provide broadband services to fixed subscribers through wireless access. A representative LMCS scenario involves a cellular system design with the entire allocated bandwidth being used in each cell and with a highly directional antenna employed at the subscriber. The LMCS system designs re...

Power Line Communication (PLC) is predicted as a prospective solution for indoor and outdoor communications over power supplies. Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) uses a large bandwidth to provide high-speed Internet services to the end user. However, the channel exhibits high frequency selectivity and impulse noise, requesting modern signal processing methods. Orthogonal Frequency Division Mult...

We investigate the influence of side information of the sender and the receiver on the performance of data transmission systems over impulsive noise channels. The “hidden” side information is the note that the in–phase and the quadrature components of the transmitted signal at a fixed time instant meet the same transmission conditions. The “exposed” side information is received when the impulsi...
