| contents | Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signalling has emerged as a compelling technique for enhancing spectral efficiency in bandwidth-constrained communication systems. By intentionally introducing controlled intersymbol interference (ISI), FTN allows transmission at rates exceeding the traditional Nyquist limit, unlocking new potential in high-speed data communication. However, its practical deployment remains challenged by the need for low-complexity detection strategies that can cope with the induced ISI while maintaining low latency and robust performance. We propose deep learning receivers that are resilient to non-idealities.
In this paper, we present a deep learning-based framework for FTN signalling that addresses these challenges through several novel contributions. First, we propose a sliding window detection method that leverages temporal context while preserving computational efficiency. Second, we demonstrate the viability of FTN systems with very low packing factors, showing that reliable performance can be achieved even under aggressive spectral compression (up to 75\%). Our architecture is optimised for low latency and low complexity, making it suitable for real-time applications and scalable deployment. In addition, we assess the robustness of our models across varying channel conditions and noise profiles, providing insights into their generalisability and resilience. |
