AbstractWe propose to use Han-Kobayashi (HK) coding and dirty-paper coding (DPC) to cope with inter-carrier interference (ICI) in dual-carrier transmissions. We show the considerable benefit of those methods to increase throughput in presence of strong ICI for dense carrier spacing.

Abstract We propose to use Han-Kobayashi (HK) coding and dirty-paper coding (DPC) to cope with inter-carrier interference (ICI) in dual-carrier transmissions. We show the considerable benefit of those methods to increase throughput in presence of strong ICI for dense carrier spacing.
IntroductionRapid demand of the data-rate increase has necessitated high-throughput technologies, such as faster-than Nyquist 1, 2 and super-channel transmissions [3][4][5] , where each transceiver operates independently while increasing the total throughput without increasing the processing speed. The spectrum efficiency may increase as the carrier spacing decreases. However, intercarrier interference (ICI) can be a major limiting factor to realize a dense carrier spacing, and ICI is often desired to be minimized. For overlapped dual-carrier transmissions, we can model the system as a 2-user interference channel. Han and Kobayashi have shown 6 that a very strong interference cannot limit the channel capacity because interference conveys data sent from the adjacent channel and those message can be decoded for strong interference cases. This theory suggests that suppressing undesired interference may not always be the best solution. Even for weak interference cases, the best known rate is achieved by the Han-Kobayashi (HK) scheme 6-8 , which uses a super-position coding and a successive decoding.In this paper, we study a potential benefit obtained by the HK scheme for dual-carrier transmissions. In addition, we compare the achievable rate of joint decoding and dirty-paper coding (DPC) 9, 10 . The major contributions are twofold: i) we analyze the benefit of HK scheme for different filter parameters, and ii) we investigate the impact of equalizer memory length in dual-carrier transmissions. To the best of authors' knowledge, there has been no literature which ...
