Excursion compensation in multipath communication systems having performance requirements parameters

A method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of communication signals at a precoder;
• precoding the plurality of communication signals at the precoder to output a plurality of precoded communication signals;
• receiving each of the plurality of precoded communication signals at a different corresponding excursion compensation unit of a plurality of excursion compensation units;
• excursion compensating the precoded communication signal at the corresponding excursion compensation unit to output an excursion compensated precoded communication signal, wherein the excursion compensating comprises:
• extracting in a time domain an excursion portion of the precoded communication signal,
• scaling in a frequency domain a plurality of subchannels of the excursion portion based on performance requirements parameters of a communication system and based on parameters of the precoding of the plurality of communication signals to generate a scaled excursion portion, and
• subtracting the scaled excursion portion from the corresponding precoded communication signal to generate the excursion compensated precoded signal.
