We consider the use of linear constellation precoding and linear equalization in a multicarrier system to obtain improved performance over multipath fading channels at a low complexity. We split the full set of subcarriers into smaller groups and spread the data symbols assigned to each group via precoding matrices. To obtain diversity order gains at a given data rate, we derive the optimal split of the subcarriers (optimal grouping) and the optimal number of symbols assigned to each group (optimal loading) using a diversity-multiplexing tradeoff analysis. We also derive the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for the precoder design and provide examples of such optimal precoders.

Abstract
We consider the use of linear constellation precoding and linear equalization in a multicarrier system to obtain improved performance over multipath fading channels at a low complexity. We split the full set of subcarriers into smaller groups and spread the data symbols assigned to each group via precoding matrices. To obtain diversity order gains at a given data rate, we derive the optimal split of the subcarriers (optimal grouping) and the optimal number of symbols assigned to each group (optimal loading) using a diversity-multiplexing tradeoff analysis. We also derive the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for the precoder design and provide examples of such optimal precoders.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
