Band Limiting Filter for Faster Than Nyquist Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In single-carrier block transmission, Faster than Nyquist transmission techniques increase interference between symbols, leading to higher calculation demands and hardware requirements on the reception side, which hinders the improvement of signal transmission speed.
Innovation Solution
A transmission apparatus that generates N symbols, converts them to a frequency domain signal, applies band limitation to reduce the bandwidth, and then converts back to a time domain signal for transmission, using techniques like DFT and IDFT, while incorporating band limiting filters and CP insertion to manage interference.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If Faster than Nyquist transmission technique is applied to SC block transmission, then signal transmission speed is improved, but interference between symbols occurs and calculation amount on reception side increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention performs preliminary band limitation on the frequency domain signal before transmission. By pre-limiting the bandwidth to a second bandwidth narrower than the first bandwidth, the system prepares the signal to reduce inter-symbol interference before it reaches the receiver, thereby enabling faster transmission without proportionally increasing reception complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the bandwidth parameter of the transmitted signal by applying band limitation. The frequency domain signal is transformed from having a first bandwidth to having a second bandwidth (narrower than the first), which modifies the signal characteristics to reduce interference while maintaining transmission speed improvements
2Productivity
If Faster than Nyquist transmission technique is applied, then transmission speed is improved, but hardware size on reception apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The band limiting filter is applied at the transmitter side as a preliminary action to constrain the signal bandwidth before transmission. This pre-processing reduces the complexity of the reception apparatus hardware by ensuring that the incoming signal already has limited bandwidth, reducing the need for complex filtering and processing hardware at the receiver
3Productivity
If band limitation is applied to reduce bandwidth, then transmission efficiency is improved, but signal power may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the bandwidth parameter of the signal through band limitation, transforming the frequency domain signal from a first bandwidth to a narrower second bandwidth. This parameter change improves transmission efficiency by reducing bandwidth consumption while the system compensates for potential power loss through the structured filtering process
