TDHQ Enabling Fine-Granularity Adaptive Loading for SSB-DMT Systems

In this letter, we introduce time domain hybrid quadrature amplitude modulation (TDHQ) for the single sideband discrete multi-tone systems. The experimental results reveal that with a single precoding set and the proposed adaptive loading algorithm, the TDHQ scheme can achieve finer granularity and therefore smoother continuous growth of data rate than that with the conventional quadrature amplitude modulation. Besides, thanks to the frame construction and the tailored mapping rule, the scheme with TDHQ has an obviously better peak to an average power ratio.
