Abstract

We investigate multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems that operate with insufficient cyclic prefix (CP). Using a CP shorter than the channel delay spread can enable a significant improvement in bandwidth utilization or range extension for OFDM networks at the cost of increased intersymbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI). We first analyze the effect of ICI and ISI on the received signal. A bi-directional M-algorithm (BDMA) is then proposed for high performance trellis-based equalization to construct an iterative interference mitigation and detection process. Simulations show that, after only 2 iterations, the bit error rate (BER) of the proposed equalization scheme can converge to that of a sufficient-CP system even when the channel delay spread is 6 times longer than the insufficient CP.
