Abstract

The invention relates to precoding (or rather pre-equalization) for a faster-than-Nyquist OFDM or OFDM/OQAM type transmitter. Compression of faster-than-Nyquist OFDM pulses over time introduces an inter-symbol interference (ISI) and a sub-carrier interference (ICI). Assuming a Gaussian-type channel (AWGN), the ISI and ICI can be estimated at the transmitter and, in this way, some of the symbols (at most half) can be precoded (according to the value of the adjacent symbols), such as to cancel the ISI and ICI introduced during transmission and reception.
