A Gentle Introduction to Faster-than-Nyquist Rate Signaling
Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling is a promising physical layer transmission technique that has the potential to improve the spectral efficiency (bits/sec/Hz) in communications systems. It refers to the transmission of information-bearing pulses at rates beyond the limit developed in the seminal work of Nyquist back in the 1920s; transmission at FTN rates results in inter-symbol interference (ISI) at the receiver which deteriorates the performance rapidly. The roots of FTN signaling trace back to the 1960s and 1970s; in particular, it was shown in 1975 that one could approach the asymptotic error rate performance of the conventional Nyquist signaling provided that accelerating the pulses does not exceed a certain limit and that complex detection techniques are in place at the receiver to remove ISI. The progress in silicon technology and advances in interference cancellation techniques, compounded by the need for ultra-high transmission rates in future networks, make many experts in academia and industry wonder whether FTN signaling is a technology whose time has finally come.
