For an existing high data-rate cable transmission system we plan to enhance the currently used Tomlinson Harashima Precoding (THP) Equalization scheme using a sophisticated scheme called Lattice-Reduction-Aided equalization. This shall allow an implementation of the precoder with higher throughput and higher clock frequency. Purpose of the thesis is to devise a Matlab-based simulation in order to demonstrate feasibility and performance of the modified scheme for different cable types. The effects on synchronization and operation under non-ideal analog components shall be analyzed in detail. Possible modifications shall be proposed and simulated.
The thesis will be assigned and carried out in accordance with the rules of your university. For this reason, please discuss the topic with a professor who can advise you over the course of the project. The duration for the thesis should be 6 months and it can be started from now on. The thesis will be supervised by Dr. Peter Nagel.
