Frequency domain equalization for single-carrier broadband wireless systems

TL;DR: This article surveys frequency domain equalization (FDE) applied to single-carrier (SC) modulation solutions and discusses similarities and differences of SC and OFDM systems and coexistence possibilities, and presents examples of SC-FDE performance capabilities.
Abstract: Broadband wireless access systems deployed in residential and business environments are likely to face hostile radio propagation environments, with multipath delay spread extending over tens or hundreds of bit intervals. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplex (OFDM) is a recognized multicarrier solution to combat the effects of such multipath conditions. This article surveys frequency domain equalization (FDE) applied to single-carrier (SC) modulation solutions. SC radio modems with frequency domain equalization have similar performance, efficiency, and low signal processing complexity advantages as OFDM, and in addition are less sensitive than OFDM to RF impairments such as power amplifier nonlinearities. We discuss similarities and differences of SC and OFDM systems and coexistence possibilities, and present examples of SC-FDE performance capabilities.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a distributed relaying protocol for the multi-relay AFNC, which can cope with the data reflection by using locally available information and introduces the technique of frequency domain equalization (FDE) for the transmission and the detection of signals.
Abstract: This paper extends the amplify-and-forward based wireless network coding (AFNC) for single-relay network to multi-relay network with a chain topology. Direct application of the relaying protocol utilized in the conventional single-relay AFNC to the multi-relay scenario causes two major problems: the phenomenon of back stream of data, which we call data reflection, and inter-hop interference. We propose a distributed relaying protocol for the multi-relay AFNC, which can cope with the data reflection by using locally available information. Moreover, we introduce the technique of frequency domain equalization (FDE) for the transmission and the detection of signals in order to utilize the interference as informative signal. Computer simulation results show that, with the proposed method, the multi-relay AFNC can be realized and the interference is successfully utilized to improve the throughput performance.

TL;DR: An iterative receiver algorithm is derived for single carrier cyclic prefix (CP) assisted block transmission systems based on iterative frequency domain detection and decoding based on soft inter-symbol interference cancellation and minimum mean-square-error equalization.
Abstract: An iterative receiver algorithm is derived for single carrier cyclic prefix (CP) assisted block transmission systems. The proposed algorithm is based on iterative frequency domain detection and decoding. At each iteration, soft inter-symbol interference cancellation (ISIC) and minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) equalization both in the frequency domain are used symbol by symbol to minimize the performance degradation caused by frequency-selective channels. We also consider an approximate implementation of the proposed algorithm suffering from little performance loss in exchange for complexity reduction. The bit-error rate (BER) as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used as a performance measure. In addition, the convergence characteristic of the iterative loop is studied with the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart.

TL;DR: This thesis considers the use of FTN signaling for the uplink of broadband wireless systems employing SC-FDE based on the Iterative Block with Decision Feedback Equalization (IB-DFE) receiver with a simple scheduled access Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (H-ARQ) specially designed taking into account the characteristics ofFTN signals.
Abstract: In a wireless broadband context, multi-path dispersive channels can severely affect data communication of Mobile Terminals (MTs) uplink. Single Carrier with Frequency-Domain Equalization (SC-FDE) has been proposed to deal with highly dispersive channels for the uplink of broadband wireless systems. However, current systems rely on older assumptions of the Nyquist theorem and assume that a system needs a minimum bandwidth 2W per MT. Faster-Than-Nyquist (FTN) assumes that it is possible to employ a bandwidth as low as 0.802 of the original Nyquist bandwidth with minimum loss despite this, the current literature has only proposed complex receivers for a simple characterization of the wireless channel. Furthermore, the uplink of SC-FDE can be severely affected by a deep-fade and or poor channel conditions; to cope with such difficulties Diversity Combining (DC) Hybrid ARQ (H-ARQ) is a viable technique, since it combines the several packet copies sent by a MT to create reliable packet symbols at the receiver. In this thesis we consider the use of FTN signaling for the uplink of broadband wireless systems employing SC-FDE based on the Iterative Block with Decision Feedback Equalization (IB-DFE) receiver with a simple scheduled access Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (H-ARQ) specially designed taking into account the characteristics of FTN signals. This approach achieves a better performance than Nyquist signaling by taking advantage of the additional bandwidth employed of a root-raised cosine pulse for additional diversity. Alongside a Packet Error Rate (PER) analytical model, simulation results show that

TL;DR: In this article, an interleaver-linked receiver beamforming method for time division duplex (TDD)-interleave division multiple access (IDMA)-based random access is proposed.
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel interleaver-linked receiver beamforming method for time division duplex (TDD)-interleave division multiple access (IDMA)-based random access. When the number of receiver antennas at the base station is large in a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scenario, the channel estimation accuracy per receiver antenna at the base station receiver is degraded due to the limited received signal power per antenna from the user terminal. This results in degradation in the receiver beamforming (BF) or antenna diversity combining and user detection. In the proposed method, a unique receiver BF vector applied at the base station is linked to each of the M interleavers prepared by the system. The user terminal selects an appropriate pair comprising a receiver BF vector and an interleaver in advance based on the channel estimation results in the downlink assuming channel reciprocity in a TDD system. Therefore, the per-receiver antenna channel estimation for receiver BF is not necessary in the proposed method. Furthermore, we also propose an application of a transmitter channel equalization to the proposed method for effective channel shortening in order to increase the orthogonal preambles for channel estimation prepared for each interleaver. Computer simulations results show that the proposed method greatly improves the accuracy of user detection and channel estimation which results in reducing the error rate compared to the conventional method that performs channel estimation at each antenna in a massive MIMO environment.

TL;DR: The analysis and simulation of a technique for combating the effects of multipath propagation and cochannel interference on a narrow-band digital mobile channel using the discrete Fourier transform to orthogonally frequency multiplex many narrow subchannels, each signaling at a very low rate, into one high-rate channel is discussed.
Abstract: This paper discusses the analysis and simulation of a technique for combating the effects of multipath propagation and cochannel interference on a narrow-band digital mobile channel. This system uses the discrete Fourier transform to orthogonally frequency multiplex many narrow subchannels, each signaling at a very low rate, into one high-rate channel. When this technique is used with pilot-based correction, the effects of flat Rayleigh fading can be reduced significantly. An improvement in signal-to-interference ratio of 6 dB can be obtained over the bursty Rayleigh channel. In addition, with each subchannel signaling at a low rate, this technique can provide added protection against delay spread. To enhance the behavior of the technique in a heavily frequency-selective environment, interpolated pilots are used. A frequency offset reference scheme is employed for the pilots to improve protection against cochannel interference.

Abstract: In this contribution the transmission of M-PSK and M-QAM modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is considered. The degradation of the bit error rate (BER), caused by the presence of carrier frequency offset and carrier phase noise is analytically evaluated. It is shown that for a given BER degradation, the values of the frequency offset and the linewidth of the carrier generator that are allowed for OFDM are orders of magnitude smaller than for single carrier systems carrying the same bit rate. >
