On zero-forcing equalization for short-filtered multicarrier faster-than-Nyquist signaling

Within the context of faster-than-Nyquist signaling, a low-complexity multicarrier system based on short-length filters and zero-forcing turbo equalization is introduced. Short-length filters allow a reduced-size block processing while zero-forcing equalization allows a linear reduced-complexity implementation. Furthermore, rectangular and out-of-band energy minimization pulse shaping demonstrates competitive performance results over an additive white Gaussian noise channel while keeping a lower computational cost than other multicarrier faster-than-Nyquist systems
