Abstract
ABSTRACT Equalisation is one of the most important algorithms to improve the Bit-Error-Rate (BER) performance in communication systems. In general, equalisation can be classified into two categories: linear and non-linear equalisation. The linear equalisers include Zero Forcing (ZF), and Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalisers. The non-linear equalisers include ZF and MMSE equalisers that are based on Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC). The ZF equaliser suffers from noise enhancement. The MMSE equaliser can mitigate the noise enhancement using the estimated Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The ZF-SIC and MMSE-SIC equalisers suffer from error propagation, and high computational complexity, respectively. In this paper, the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is modulated and demodulated using Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform (IDWT), and DWT instead of Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) and DFT, respectively. Also, we propose a Joint Low-complexity Regularised ZF-SIC (JLRZF-SIC) equaliser that jointly performs the equalisation, and Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) compensation with lower complexity using banded matrix approximation. The proposed JLRZF-SIC equaliser can accomplish the equalisation, and CFO compensation processes with low-complexity compared to the corresponding MMSE-SIC equaliser. Simulation results show that the proposed JLRZF-SIC equaliser outperforms different linearand non-linear equalisers.
