摘要:We propose the use of an iterative receiver based on the Space Alternating Generalized Expectation
maximization (SAGE) algorithm for crosstalk cancellation in upstream vectored VDSL. In the absence
of alien crosstalk, we show that when initialized with the frequency-domain equalizer (FEQ) output, the
far-end crosstalk (FEXT) can be cancelled with no more real-time complexity than the existing linear
receivers. In addition, the suggested approach does not require offline computation of the channel inverse
and thus reduces the receiver complexity. In the presence of alien crosstalk, there is a significant gap
between the rate performance of the linear receivers as compared with the single-user bound (SUB). The
proposed receiver is shown to successfully bridge this gap while requiring only a little extracomplexity.
Computer simulations are presented to validate the analysis and confirm the performance of the proposed
receiver.
