Résumé:
In this paper we propose a multi-criteria comparison
of faster than Nyquist (FTN) against Nyquist signaling. To
conduct this study we consider uncoded links and maximum
likelihood receivers, we fix both the spectral efficiency (SE) and
the bandwidth of the links, and we compare the quality of the
latter for a given received signal to noise ratio (SNR) taking
into account the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Indeed,
this metric directly affects the power amplifier (PA) efficiency
and depends on the considered modulation and shaping filter. In
addition, as already mentioned in the literature, the PAPR varies
significantly with the compression factor of FTN signaling. Based
on this, we built a penalized SNR expression in order to consider
the PAPR effect and offer a clear representation to fairly compare
different FTN and Nyquist signaling. Through this multi-criteria
approach, required for practical applications, we show that the
best waveforms are FTN. As an example, FTN links may provide
a gain up to 2.5 dB for 2.5 bits/s/Hz for a bit error rate (BER)
of 10-4 compared to the best Nyquist link.
