Peak to Average Power Ratio Reduction for OFDM
With the upcoming deployment of wideband wireless network with throughput greater than 100Mbps over high frequency bands such as 5-GHz band and the adopting of multicarrier modulations, more and more challenges are brought to system and hardware design. ...>
Toward Forward Link Interference Cancellation
CDMA system capacity is known to be interference-limited since the same spectrum is shared by many users and there exists near-far problem due to multiple access interference (MAI). Multiuser receiver is highly regarded as one of the promising interference mitigation techniques ...>
