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.

We consider channel-coded multi-input multi-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission and obtain a condition on its signal for it to attain the maximum diversity and coding gain. As this condition may not be realizable, we propose a suboptimal design that employs an orthogonal transform and a space-frequency interleaver between the channel coder and the multi-antenna OFDM transmitter. We propose a corresponding receiving method based on block turbo equalization. Attention is paid to some detailed design of the transmitter and the receiver to curtail the computational complexity and yet deliver good performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed transmission technique can outperform the conventional coded MIMO OFDM and the MIMO block single-carrier transmission with cyclic prefixing.

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a FDE combined with STBC transmission structure to cancellation of ISI in underwater acoustic communication. To achieve this purpose, underwater acoustic channels are modeled and the simulation results are presented. In case of STBC-FDE, the transmission rate is less about 4% than STBC-OFDM, but the SER performance is better than STBC-OFDM that is larger from 4.4% to 16.8% at the SNR of 15dB than STBC-OFDM.

An equalization technique for OFDM systems in tine variant fading environment is described. Time variant channels lead to interchannel interference which increases the bit mr rate. A frequency domain equalizer using pilot symbols is proposed. The equalizer decreases the interchannel interference affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is analyzed via computer simulation.

This paper proposes a distributed space-frequency block code (SFBC) for relay-assisted single carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). The proposed technique achieves spatial diversity gain over fast fading channels without the complexity of multiple antennas. The mobile equipment of the proposed system has a very simple transmitter structure with constant amplitude transmit sequences, which is desirable especially for uplink communications. In order to obtain spatial diversity, the transmit sequence of relay is efficiently generated in the time domain, which is equivalent to the SFBC. Further, efficient implementation of relay and destination structures is also presented. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed system significantly outperforms the distributed space-time block code (D-STBC) SC-FDE over fast fading channels.

Time-varying channel characteristics in OFDM systems over doubly selective channels cause inter-carrier interferences(ICI) in the frequency domain. Time domain windowing gives rise to restriction on the bandwidth of the frequency domain channel matrix and makes it possible to approximate the OFDM system as a simplified linear input-output model. When successive interference cancellation based on linear MMSE estimation is employed for channel equalization in OFDM systems, symbol detection ordering produces considerable effects on overall system performances. In this paper, we show the reduction of the residual ICI by time domain windowing and the resultant performance improvements, and investigate the effects of SINR- and CSEP-based symbol detection ordering on the performance of successive interference cancellation.

필터뱅크를 기반으로 하는 이산 웨이브렛 멀티톤(DWMT) 데이터 전송 시스템은 전송 채널의 영향으로 발생하는 심벌간 및 부채널간의 간섭 잡음에 민감하다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시간 영역 등화기(TEQ)는 전송 채널 응답의 길이를 단축시키는 TEQ-S와 전송 채널의 주파수 특성을 향상시키는 TEQ-C등 2단계로 이루어져 있다. 제안한 시간영역 등화기(TEQ)를 DWMT 데이터 전송 시스템에 적용하면 많은 간섭 성분을 감소시킬 수 있어 하드웨어적으로 보다 간단한 FEQ로도 잔여 간섭 잡음을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a new single carrier - frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) structure to cope with narrow band interference. In the conventional SC-FDE structure, when a high-power narrow band interference exists, channel estimation and data recovery is difficult. To relieve from this problem, this paper proposes a new SC-FDE frame structure to enable frequency-domain channel estimation in the environments that exist narrow band interference. Specifically, in the conventional method, the channel estimation is performed in time-domain first and from that, the frequency-domain channel is obtained by Fourier transform. In contrast, we proposed a new SC-FDE structure to enable frequency-domain channel estimation directly from received signals without time-domain channel estimation. The receiver performance improvement is verified through computer simulation. According to the results, the proposed technique can detect the signal with less than 2 dB loss compared with jammer-free environments, while the conventional method does not communicate with each other.

In a Multi-carrier modulation system, CP (Cyclic prefix) is inserted in the transmit tame in order to eliminate the ISI (Intersymbol Interference) and ICI (Interchannel Interference) caused by delay spread of a received signal, which in rum degrades the throughput of the system. TEQ (Time-domain equalizer) improves the system throughput by shortening the CIR (Channel Impulse Response) time and maintaining the CP length to the minimum regardless of the channel condition. In this paper, a new MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) TEQ algorithm is proposed and its performance is analyzed in order to speed up computing the optimum tap coefficients of the equalizer by employing Newton method.
