AFDM-FTN: A Spectrally Efficient Waveform for High-Mobility Communications
Xianle Dai, Qu Luo, Jianguo Li, Fabien Heliot, Shuangyang Li, Lixia Xiao, et al.
This paper proposes an affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM)-aided faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) waveform, termed AFDM-FTN, to enhance spectral efficiency (SE) in high-mobility communication scenarios. We first derive the AFDM-FTN input-output relationship and analyze the FTN…
