DWMT transceiver equalization using overlap FDE for downlink ADSL

Discrete wavelet multitone (DWMT) modulation is a wavelet transform based technique implemented using perfect reconstruction filter banks. It has been recently proposed for various wireline channels such as digital subscriber loops (DSLs) as a solution to the problems posed by a discrete multitone (DMT) transceiver including interblock interference (IBI) and lower spectral efficiency due to the employment of a cyclic prefix (CP) in the guard interval (GI) for DMT symbols. The greater side lobe attenuation offered by wavelet filter banks results in improved spectral containment and lower IBI in DWMT transceivers. However, no standard equalization technique exists for a DWMT based transceiver so as to remove the effect of channel on the transmitted signal in DWMT systems. This paper proposes the application of overlap frequency domain equalization (OFDE) in DWMT modulated systems and compares the bit error rate (BER) performance with time domain equalization (TDE) technique. It is shown through simulation results that minimum mean square error (MMSE) based OFDE can be applied as an equalization technique for a downlink asymmetric DSL (ADSL) channel with lower computational complexity and BER performance comparable to that of TDE.

  • From the above tables, we can observe that, without noticeable performance loss regarding BER, the
  • overlap FDE gives reduced computational complexity as compared to TDE. Thus, the primary purpose of
  • complexity reduction is achieved without much deterioration in BER performance. 8. Conclusion
  • Very few works exist in the literature on the equalization of communication systems based on multirate filter
  • banks for ADSL channels. In this paper, we have compared the performance of TDE and OFDE techniques in
  • terms of BER and computational complexity. Equalizer weights are optimized with the help of ZF and MMSE.
  • The performance of both systems is analyzed in the presence of AWGN and crosstalk. From the simulation
  • results we can deduce that the overall computational complexity of the DWMT based system with OFDE is
  • lower than that of the DWMT based system with TDE. In this way, we have gained the complexity reduction
  • advantage by utilizing OFDE for the DWMT based system. The performance evaluation in terms of BER did
  • not give significant enhancement for OFDE as compared to TDE techniques. OFDE seems a better option as
  • compared to TDE in terms of complexity without loss in BER performance. As a future work, the authors are
  • interested in evaluating the performance of an equalizer in the presence of impulse noise.
