This paper proposes a partial detection scheme using QRD-M, DFE, and iterative schemes for efficiency in terms of detection performance and complexity in a MIMO-OFDM system. The proposed scheme detects signals by using the different detection methods in according to spatial stream. In the proposed scheme, QRD-M with high detection performance and high complexity is used in spatial stream that requires low complexity, and DFE with low detection performance and low complexity is used in spatial stream that requires high complexity. Also, the iterative detection is performed in the detected spatial stream by using DFE. From the simulation, it is confirmed that although proposed scheme has increased complexity, detection performance is greatly improved by the proposed scheme.

In this paper, we consider iterative soft-decision feedback equalizers (sDFE), a.k.a. turbo equalizers for single-carrier transmission. Turbo equalizer takes log-likelihood ratio (LLR) feedback from channel decoder and convert the LLR into symbol estimates and variances to be used for the LLR update at the sDFE. Specifically, we consider both time domain and frequency-domain sDFE and compare their performances. The results shows that frequency-domain sDFE performs better than time-domain one and also that considerable gain can be obtained especially when the channel has deep nulls.

SC-FDMA is employed in the 3GPP-LTE standard as the uplink transmission scheme. SC-FDMA has advantages that the signal has a low PAPR property and a simple equalizer such as FD-LE can be implemented. But FD-LE has inferior performance to Hybrid-DFE composed of frequency-domain feedforward filter and time-domain feedback filter. Recently, several IB-DFE algorithms have been proposed to overcome the disadvantages of implementation and processing complexity of Hybrid-DFE and to obtain superior performance to FD-LE. In this paper, we apply several IB-DFE algorithms to 3GPP-LTE uplink system and compare their performance by calculating BER. We investigate the effects of channel estimation errors and Doppler shift on performance. Finally, by analyzing computational complexity of IB-DFEs, we present some criteria to choose appropriate algorithm and to decide the number of iterative processes.

In this paper, We analyzed the performance of turbo equalizer using turbo codes thorough the under water experiment. To compensate the distorted signal induced by multipath effect, we apply the iterative turbo codes that iteratively exchange probabilistic information between LMS-DFE and turbo decoder, thereby reducing the error rates significantly. We showed the successful of turbo decoding of iterative turbo equalizer is 93%.

In many current wireless packet data system, the short-burst transmissions are used, and training overhead is very significant for such short burst formats. So, the availability of the short training sequence and the fast converging algorithm is essential in the adaptive equalizer. In this paper, the new equalizer algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of a MTLMS (multiple-training least mean square) based DFE (decision feedback equalizer)using the short training sequence. In the proposed method, the output of the DFE is fed back to the LMS (least mean square) based adaptive DEF loop iteratively and used as an extended training sequence. Instead of the block operation using ML (maximum likelihood) estimator, the low-complexity adaptive LMS operation is used for overall processing. Simulation results show that the perfonnance of the proposed equalizer is improved with a linear computational increase as the iterations parameter in creases and can give the more robustness to the time-varying fading.

Inter-symbol interference (ISI) problem is inevitable when the guard interval (GI) is shorter than the delay spread (DS) for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Iterative techniques have been proposed to overcome such a problem. However, most of existing algorithms are not efficient for an OFDM system with a small GI working under the channel with a large DS. Especially in the case of the DS spans a longer time than the half of the OFDM symbol duration. On the other hand, conventional algorithms, which can reduce the effects of the severe ISI, often employ several impractical assumptions to support the conclusions. In this paper, we present a robust decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for the OFDM system to overcome the severe ISI problem. The proposed DFE removes the ISI in a same manner as the residual inter-symbol interference cancellation (RISIC) algorithm. However, the inter-carrier interference (ICI) is reduced via cyclicity removal instead of the cyclicity restoration used in the conventional algorithms. The link-level simulation (LLS) results indicate that our proposed DFE scheme can dramatically improve the BER performance when the DS spans longer than the half of ODFM symbol duration.

The performance of underwater acoustic communication system is sensitive to the inter-symbol interference due to delay spread develop of multipath signal propagation. Thus, it is necessary technique of equalizer and channel code to eliminate inter-symbol interference. In this paper, underwater acoustic communication system were analyzed by experiment using these techniques on the Kyeong-chun lake, Munkyeong City. Based on the results of experiment, we confirmed that the performance of the proposed iterative BCJR equalization method is improved by increasing the number of iterations.
