Abstract :
We propose a design method for multicarrier systems based on the achievable rate. We focus on pulse-shaped OFDM, adopted by the HomePlug AV system, and filtered multitone modulation (FMT). For a given sub-channel pulse shape, the number of tones and the interpolation factor can be determined by maximizing a design metric based on the achievable rate. Numerical results and comparisons are reported for typical power line communication (PLC) indoor channels, considering also the problem of notching.
