Spatial Decoupling methods for Digital Suscriber LineIn this paper, we present a sassy method of spatial decoupling method to the pre- and post-processing of bundled digital subscriber line (DSL) systems using polynomial matrix decomposition algorithms. The proposed algorithm introduce a novel analytic thinking and synthesis oftenness splits in addition to belt along frequency limits that play a major part in achieving the expected data rates. Instead of the traditional discrete multit one (DMT) architecture, sophisticated inflection structures known as filtered multitone (FMT) precoder for the downstream, and its upstream counterpart an inverse FMT equalizer are evaluated. Simulation results confirm that per-band equalization of polynomial matrices fag enhance data rates by using this proposed spatial decoupling approach for DSL lines.Index Terms- Polynomial Matrix Decomposition, Filtered Multitone, DSL, DMT,WHAT IS OFDM?In this paper, we present the foundation for a future g eneration of spatial decoupling method to the pre- and post-processing of bundled digital subscriber lines (DSL) systems. The paper proposed a in the raw analysis and synthesis frequency splits in addition to upper frequency limits that play a major part in achieving the expected data rates. Instead of the traditional discrete multitone (DMT) architecture, a more sophisticated filtered modulation structure known as filtered multitone (FMT) is proposed in the downstream, and its upstream counterpart an inverse FMT operation.DSL have for decades used DMT to allow the transmitting of several high speed broadband signals through the twisted pair copper wire at the same m. Each broadband signal is on a separate frequency or, more specifically, assigned to independent DSL tone/ product line.For instance, what we call Channel 2 occupies 54 MHz-60 MHz. Within each channel used for NTSC analog TV transmitting, one will find an amplitude modulated (more specifically, vestigial sideband a mplitude modulation or VSB-AM) optical carrier located 1.25 MHz above the light channel edge, and a frequency modulated aural carrier 4.5 MHz above the visual carrier.A color subcarrier is located in between the visual and aural carriers, approximately 3.58 MHz above the visual carrier. When the line of descent industry made the jump to digital transmission several years ago, the modulation of prime(a) was QAM. Each downstream QAM signal which is really a double-sideband, suppressed-carrier analog RF signal occupies the same six megahertz of bandwidth as an analog TV signal.The on-going method of QAM transmission is known as single carrier QAM (SC-QAM) the latter is true even when DOCSIS 3.0 channel bonding is used.Each channel slot carries tho one modulated carrier a QAM signal hence, the SC-QAM moniker. The entire data payload transmitted in the channel modulates just that one QAM signal.Now hypothecate transmitting a large number of individual very- finalize-bandwidth Q AM signals hundreds or even thousands within a given channel.A 6-megahertz-wide channel could, for example, contain up to 480 narrow QAM signals that are spaced only 12.5 kc apart.Each of these narrow QAM signals, called a subcarrier, subchannel, or carries a small percentage of the total payload at a very low data rate.The aggregate of all of the subcarriers data rates comprises the total data payload.For improved spectral efficiency, the subcarriers actually overlap one another. This sounds counterintuitive, because one would be inclined to think that, if signals overlap each other, interference will occur.With OFDM, the subcarriers are mathematically orthogonal to that is, distinguishable from one another, which takes care of the interference concern. incorporeal in this case means the subcarriers are independent such that there is no interaction between them despite the overlap in frequency.The concept is equal to having zero inter-symbol interference (ISI) in the time dom ain. Orthogonality is achieved by position the subcarriers at the reciprocal of the symbol period (T), also called symbol duration time. This spacing results in the sinc (sin x/x) frequency response curves of the subcarriers lining up so that the peak of one subcarriers response curve falls on the first nulls of the note and upper adjacent subcarriers response curves.Orthogonal subcarriers each have exactly an integer number of cycles in the interval T.With OFDM, the concept of a six-megahertz-wide channel no longer is necessary. The previously mentioned NCTA paper includes an example of a downstream OFDM channels bandwidth being as wide as 192 megahertz, supporting some 15,200 subcarriers spaced 12.5 kilohertz apart.Along with the subcarriers are pilot tones for synchronization and other purposes. There are guard bands at each end of the 192- megahertz-wide channel, resulting in a useful bandwidth of one hundred ninety megahertz. The useful symbol duration time is 80 microsecond s (s), the reciprocal of which is the previously noted subcarrier spacing 1/0.000080 second = 12,500 hertz.The total symbol duration time is 84.13 s, which includes what are called guard interval samples and symbol shaping samples. Assuming 4096-QAM on each subcarrier, the 192- megahertz-wide channel supports 2.11 Gbps without FEC.Other example channel bandwidths discussed are 96 megahertz and 48 megahertz.All of these particular OFDM channel bandwidths are multiples of six and eight megahertz, which allows easier coexistence with todays North Ameri dope and European channel plans.If the spectrum doesnt have enough room for a skillful OFDM channel, some of the subcarriers finish be nulled, which effectively turns them off. OFDM can be used for multiple access say, as OFDMA in the upstream by assign different subcarriers to different users. OFDM also can be used in combination with such other multiple access schemes as time fraction multiple access (TDMA).In this case, the full channel would be assigned to one user at a time, and the multiple access achieved via time division. When unite with TDMA, OFDM can deliver a very high peak-data rate, which may be desirable for some applications. Pros And Cons Advantages of OFDM include the ability to adapt to such degraded channel conditions as severe microreflections without the need for complex adaptive equalization algorithms. One reason for the latter is that a very narrow bandwidth subcarrier typically experiences what is known as flat fading when micro-reflections affect channel response. This is in contrast to a SC-QAM signal that occupies the full channel bandwidth and is susceptible to amplitude ripple (standing waves) across that full bandwidth. Each OFDM subcarrier sees just a tiny portion of the ripple, which for the most part affects only the amplitude of the narrow subcarrier. Compensating for what amounts to little more than an amplitude variation among subcarriers simplifies the fix. Likewise, the building complex OFDM signal is more robust than SC-QAM in the presence of interference. For example, a narrowband ingressor like a pager transmitters signal affects only a few subcarriers rather than pickings out the full channel. Depending on the severity of the interference, FEC may be able to deal with it.Alternatively, the OFDM transmitter simply can disable a few subcarriers to repeal narrowband interference on problem frequencies.Inter-symbol interference is generally less of a problem with OFDM because of the low data rate per subcarrier.As discussed earlier, the overlapping nature of OFDMs subcarrier transmission provides high spectral efficiency. If information about the channels condition is sent back to the transmitter by the receiver, then adaptive modulation, FEC and male monarch allocation can be applied to all subcarriers, blocks of subcarriers or even individual subcarriers. In other words, some subcarriers in the channel can use higher orders of modulation than other subcarriers, some subcarriers can have more aggressive FEC, and the power of individual subcarriers can be varied all on an as-conditions-warrant basis.OFDM does have a few disadvantages It is susceptible to frequency and clock errors, although the pilot carriers that accompany the subcarriers help to mitigate this by providing the receiver a means of synchronization. OFDM has a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), but a spectrum full of SC-QAM signals does, too.While PAPR-reduction techniques are available for OFDM and OFDMA, they probably wont be necessary in a typical cable network. Some of OFDMs high spectral efficiency is reduced by the use of cyclic prefixes, which help to maintain subcarrier orthogonality. Why Bother? You may be query why one would even consider a new PHY for a possible future version of DOCSIS. After all, SC-QAM works well, and channel bonding can be used to significantly increase data throughput.The good news is that OFDM isnt some new-fangled t echnology without a proved history.It is used in Wi-Fi networks, worldwide interoperability for zap access (WiMAX), long term evolution (LTE), digital audio broadcasting (DAB), ultra-wideband (UWB) and Europes digital video broadcasting (DVB).A variation of ODFM also is used in asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) and very high-speed digital subscriber line (VDSL).The previously discussed advantages bring a lot of signal transmission flexibility to the table.When OFDM is combined with more powerful FEC like LDPC, higher orders of modulation can be used within the limits of the channel conditions, of course.Toss in new frequency splits and upper frequency limits seem improving the future DSL systems, supporting far higher data rates than are possible the animate DMT-QAM.
