An Efficient Filter-Bank Multi-Carrier System for High-Speed Wireline Applications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper proposes an efficient multi-carrier system that combines filter-bank multi-carrier signalling, decision-directed channel estimation, and frequency-domain timing recovery to eliminate the overhead associated with cyclic prefix, large side-lobes, and pilot carriers. Furthermore, a technique is proposed to halve the required number of FFTs (IFFTs), reducing their complexity by 29% for a 32-point resolution; a method is proposed to correct tilt and stretch distortion; and a gain controller with adaptive loop coefficients is adopted to achieve the same stability but 65% higher tracking bandwidth regardless of the FFT size. The concept is validated at the system level, where impairments are applied, enabling an in-depth comparison to conventional discrete multi-tone signalling. Assuming a 32-point FFT, a 35dB channel, and an overlap factor of 3, results show 101% improvement in capacity, 100% improvement in power efficiency, and 101% improvement in area efficiency, and all while maintaining comparable latency. This work enables very low-resolution multi-carrier schemes, which were previously impractical due to the significant overhead.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
