Synopsis

During the past two decades, many communication techniques have been developed to achieve various goals such as higher data rate, more robust link quality,andmoreusercapacityinmorerigorouschannelconditions.Themost well known are, for instance, CDMA, OFDM, MIMO, multiuser OFDM, and UWB systems.All these systems havetheir ownunique superioritywhile they also induce other drawbacks that limit the system performance. Conventional way to overcome the drawback is to impose most of the computational e?ort in the receiver side and let the transmitter design much simpler than receiver. The fact is that, however, by leveraging reasonable computational e?ort to the transmitter, the receiver design can be greatly simpli?ed. For instance, multiaccess interference (MAI) has long been considered to limit the perf- mance of multiuser systems. Popular solutions to mitigate MAI issue include multiuser detection (MUD) or sophisticated signal processing for interference cancellation such as PIC or SIC. However, those solutions impose great b- den in the receiver. In this case, precoding o?er good solutions to achieve simple transceiver designs as we will mention later in this book. This book is intended to provide a comprehensive review of precoding techniques for digital communications systems from a signal processing p- spective. The variety of selected precoding techniques and their applications makes this book quite di?erent from other texts about precoding techniques in digital communication engineering.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book provides a comprehensive review of precoding techniques for digital communications systems from a signal processing perspective.

In the first part of the book the authors provide an overview of the principles of precoding for channels with intersymbol interference (ISI) such as Tomlinson-Harashima precoding and Trellis precoding. There is also a discussion on how the widely used OFDM systems can be treated as a special case of precoding techniques and introduce precoding schemes for OFDM systems. Further, the book provides an overview of various existing precoding techniques that reduce the interference level while keeping the receiver design simple in CDMA systems. There is also a complete chapter on the issue of precoding for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channels.

The second part of the book introduces the state-of-the-art precoding techniques originating from several projects and research activities involving multiuser OFDM transmissions and ultra-wideband (UWB) radio systems.
