Cadambe and Jafar (CJ) alignment strategy for the K-user scalar frequency-selective fading Gaussian channel, with encoding over blocks of 2n+1 random channel coefficients (subcarriers) is considered. The linear zero-forcing (LZF) strategy is compared with a novel approach based on lattice alignment and lattice decoding (LD). Despite both LZF and LD achieve the same degrees of freedom, it is shown that LD can achieve very significant improvements in terms of error rates at practical SNRs with…

This paper investigates the performance of the standard linear zero-forcing receiver, of linear integer forcing receivers, and of (non-linear) joint decoding implemented by lattice decoding with MMSE generalized decision feedback preprocessing and shows that the latter provides a significant improvement in terms of uncoded symbol error rate, averaged over the fading channel statistics.
