Abstract
This paper presents pulses of finite duration for use in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) using offset QAM modulation. In such a system the pulses will overlap in both frequency and time without intersymbol or interchannel interference. The pulses are generated by an optimization procedure which minimizes the out-of-band energy under the constraints of zero intersymbol and interchannel interference. Low out-of-band energy is important to achieve high bandwidth efficiency, especially when the number of channels is small. The optimization procedure leads to an integral equation which is solved by expanding the pulse in truncated prolate spheroidal wave functions. Examples of optimized pulses and their spectrum are presented for lengths of 2 and 4 symbol intervals.

Implementation of Multicarrier Systems with Polyphase Filterbanks

TL;DR: This article will emphasize on how to efficiently implement multicarrier (MC-) systems different from and alternative to OFDM and show that when using polyphase filterbanks to do so this is a little complex and flexible solution.

TL;DR: This paper provides comprehensive performance analysis for the zero-forcing receiver for the SSOP scheme, showing the independence of the orthogonal projection matrix on the ordering of the suppression distances, and the monotonicity of the SNR with the suppression distance and the number of reserved subcarriers.

Sparse approximation based resource allocation in DMT transmitters with per-tone pulse shaping

TL;DR: An algorithm to optimally allocate the available resources, i.e., power and filter taps, under PSD mask constraints, is presented, based on a dual problem formulation, which achieves a high performance with relatively low complexity, which is also demonstrated by simulations.
