Efficient Architectures for Multiuser FMT Systems and Application to Power Line Communications

In this letter we study filtered multitone modulation (FMT) for broadband multiuser power line communications. We address the implementation problem, and we derive a novel efficient digital implementation of both the synthesis and the analysis filter bank. A simple fractionally spaced multiuser receiver is also proposed.
