Abstract: | Time division duplex (TDD) multi carrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems have recently been proposed as potential
candidates for next generation (4G) technology. In order to mitigate multiple access interference, in this paper we investigate
pre-equalization schemes for both downlink and uplink transmissions, the former also in a multiple transmit antenna scenario.
In particular, new pre-equalizer techniques are introduced and complexity issues addressed. Numerical results are given to
highlight the effectiveness of the proposed schemes with respect to other existing pre-equalizer solutions.
Paola Bisaglia was born in Padova, Italy, on August 8, 1971. She received the Laurea (cum laude) and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering
from the University of Padova, Padova, Italy in 1996 and 2000 respectively.
In 2000 she joined Hewlett-Packard Research Laboratories, Bristol, England, working on Home Phoneline Networking and wireless
LANs.
From 2002 she is a research fellow at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padova, Italy. Her research
interests include wireless local area networks; modulation, coding techniques and detection strategies for next generation
(4G) broadband cellular systems, based on the combination of multi-carrier and spread-spectrum modulations.
Luca Sanguinetti is a Ph.D. Student of the University of Pisa. He was born in Empoli, Italy, on February 19, 1977, and he received the Doctor
Engineer degree (cum laude) in information engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 2002. Since 2002 he was with
the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa, where he is working toward the Ph.D. degree in information
engineering under the supervision of Prof. Umberto Mengali and Prof. Michele Morelli. In 2004, he was a visiting Ph.D. student
at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.
Currently he is involved in a research project dealing with the design and the development of base stations and user terminals
for wideband wireless communications systems able to cope with those reconfigurability and interoperability characteristics
required by the next generation mobile communication systems. His research interests are in wireless communication theory,
with emphasis on synchronization and detection algorithms and channel estimation in multiple-access communication systems.
Michele Morelli received the Laurea (cum laude) in electrical engineering and the “Premio di Laurea SIP” from the University of Pisa, Italy,
in 1991 and 1992 respectively. From 1992 to 1995 he was with the Department of Information Engineering of the University of
Pisa, where he received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering. In September 1996 he joined the Centro Studi Metodi e
Dispositivi per Radiotrasmissioni (CSMDR) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in Pisa where he held the position
of Research Assistant. Since 2001 he has been with the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa where
he is currently an Associate Professor of Telecommunications. His research interests are in wireless communication theory,
with emphasis on synchronization algorithms and channel estimation in multiple-access communication systems.
Nevio Benvenuto received the Laurea degree from the University of Padova, Padova, Italy, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst, in 1976 and 1983, respectively, both in electrical engineering.
From 1983 to 1985 he was with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ, working on signal analysis problems. He spent the next
three years alternating between the University of Padova, where he worked on communication systems research, and Bell Laboratories,
as a Visiting Professor.
From 1987 to 1990, he was a member of the faculty at the University of Ancona. He was a member of the faculty at the University
of L'Aquila from 1994 to 1995. Currently, he is a Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department, University of Padova.
His research interests include voice and data communications, digital radio, and signal processing.
Silvano Pupolin received the Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy, in 1970. Since then he joined
the Department of Information Engineering, University of Padova, where currently is Full Professor of Electrical Communications.
He was Chairman of the Faculty of Electronic Engineering from 1990 to 1994, Chairman of the PhD Course in Electronics and
Telecommunications Engineering from 1991 to 1997 and Director of the PhD School in Information Engineering from 2004. Also,
he was member of the programming and development committee from 1997 to 2002 and member of Scientific Committee from 1996
to 2001 of the University of Padova; member of the budget Committee of the Faculty of Engineering from 2003. He has been actively
engaged in research on: Digital communication systems over copper wires and fiber optics; Spread spectrum communication systems;
Design of large reliable communications networks; Effects of phase noise and HPA nonlinearities in OFDM systems; 3G mobile
radio communications systems (UTRA-FDD and TDD) and beyond 3G (OFDM modulation and MC CDMA); Packet radio, Ad-hoc networks
with the use of Bluetooth and WLAN. He was Chairman of the 9-th and 10-th Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital Communications
devoted to “Broadband Wireless Communications” and to “Multimedia Communications”, respectively, and he was General Chair
of the 7th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC'04). He spent the summer 1985 at AT&T
Bell Laboratories on leave from Padova, doing research on digital radio systems. He was Principal investigator for research
projects entitled “Variable bit rate mobile radio communication systems for multimedia applications”, “OFDM Systems with Applications
to WLAN Networks”, and “MC-CDMA: an air interface for the 4th generation of wireless systems”. |
