Abstract
In broadband wireless communication systems, single-carrier transmission with frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) is regarded as an alternative modulation technique to the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Compared with OFDM systems, SC-FDE has similar implementation complexity and performance. However, SC-FDE with linear equalizer will suffer from serious performance deterioration under deep frequency selective fading channels. An effective method to solve this problem is to introduce non-linear decision feedback equalization (DFE) to SC-FDE. In this paper, a low complexity iterative decision feedback equalizer in the frequency domain for single- carrier systems is proposed. Based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion, a simplified parameter estimation method is introduced to calculate the coefficients of the feed-forward and feedback filters, which reduces the implementation complexity of the equalizer. Simulations show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is similar to the traditional iterative block DFE (IBDFE) under various multipath fading channels but with lower complexity.
