On the role of linear precoding in signal processing for wireless
Georgios B. Giannakis · 2002
Summary form only given. Linear precoding (LP) is a useful signal processing tool for coping with frequency-selective propagation channels encountered with high-rate wireless block transmissions. LP is important for single- and multi-carrier (OFDM) systems, and has links with error-control coding. It has features for both point-to-point and multiple access links, with emphasis placed on the generalized multicarrier CDMA. Novel ideas of block-spreading and chip-interleaving are also of interest.
