Abstract
Precoding at the transmitter side has been proved to be a very efficient strategy for channel equalization in single-carrier digital transmission schemes. It enables the application of coded modulation in a seamless fashion. A drawback of precoding is that the signal at the input of the decision device exhibits a huge dynamic range. Based on dynamics shaping, a combined precoding/shaping technique introduced previously (see Fischer, R. et al., IEEE JSAC, p.1622-33, 1995), a new shaping strategy is developed. This technique enables a flexible trade-off between (i) reduction of the average transmit power, (ii) avoidance of peaks in the transmit signal in order to facilitate a line driver implementation, and (iii) restriction of the maximum amplitude at the receiver side to a prescribed value. Over a wide range, all three demands can be met simultaneously. As the scheme is fully compatible with Tomlinson-Harashima precoding, it can replace the precoder even in existing and standardized schemes. Simulation results for a typical DSL scenario show the achievable gains.
