Abstract:

Focusing on intersymbol interference(ISI) and multiuser interference(MUI) existing in single-carrier frequency-division multiple access(SC-FDMA) in multipath fading channels, a new multiuser receiver based on diversity combining is designed, and a novel frequency domain iterative block decision feedback equalization(DFE) approach for multiuser SC-FDMA is proposed. By exploiting the input-decision correlation, it optimizes the tap coefficients of the feedforward and feedback filters, in such a way that the maximized signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio(SINR) is achieved for each iterative process, thus removing residual interference, and gradually improving the reliability of the detected data. Simulation results show that the proposed approach effectively reduces the bit error rate(BER) and provides significant robustness against multipath fading.

Key words: single-carrier frequency-division multiple access(SC-FDMA), intersymbol interference(ISI), frequency domain(FD), decision feedback equalization(DFE)
