When Probabilistic Shaping Realizes Improper Signaling for Hardware Distortion Mitigation (2021)
Journal Article
Javed, S., Elzanaty, A., Amin, O., Shihada, B., & Alouini, M.-S. (2021). When Probabilistic Shaping Realizes Improper Signaling for Hardware Distortion Mitigation. IEEE Transactions on Communications, 69(8), 5028-5042. https://doi.org/10.1109/tcomm.2021.3074978

Hardware distortions (HWDs) render drastic effects on the performance of communication systems. They are recently proven to bear asymmetric signatures; and hence can be efficiently mitigated using improper Gaussian signaling (IGS), thanks to its addi...
