  3. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions OFDM System Consider a

    system over frequency-selective channel which uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM tries to compensate intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI). For time-invariant but frequency-selective channels, ISI and ICI are avoided by inserting a cyclic prefix (CP) and using a single-tap equalizer in the frequency domain.
  4. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions The problem: Doubly Selective

    Channels Time-invariant frequency-selective Time-varying frequency-selective In applications with high levels of mobility and capacity, the channels are time- and frequency-selective (doubly selective). In these cases, the single-tap equalization is inadequate ⇒ More complex equalization schemes are needed.

  6. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions System Model In the

    case of a time-invariant channel: the matrix A becomes diagonal with ai (1) = ai (2) = · · · = ai (N) , i = 1, . . . L and equalization is possible with O(N) operations, i.e. linear complexity over the number of subcarriers
  7. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions System Model On the

    contrary, with a time-varying channel, the matrix A is no longer diagonal. The subcarriers interfere with each other and the amplitude of the intercarrier interference (ICI) depends on the Doppler-spread.
  8. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Conventional MMSE Equalizer Apply

    the MMSE equalization to the parallel N streams, i.e. solve N systems of equations of N × N, hence O(N3) total complexity. The MMSE equalization matrix is given by the solution of E{yyH }G = E{syH } (2) ⇒ RG = B (3) ⇒    r11 r12 . . . r1N . . . . . . . . . . . . rN1 rN2 . . . rNN       g11 g12 . . . g1N . . . . . . . . . . . . gN1 gN2 . . . gNN    =    b11 b12 . . . b1N . . . . . . . . . . . . bN1 bN2 . . . bNN    ( where G is the equalizer matrix G = [g1g2 . . . gN]T .

    reduce the complexity of the conventional method, make a K-banded approximation (K = 2D + 1) to the MMSE equalizer and use LDL factorization to solve the N systems with O(NK2) total complexity. Figure : Structure of the autocorrelation matrix R
  10. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Iterative MMSE Equalizer To

    reduce the complexity of the conventional method, and too improve the performance of the banded method, conduct the equalization iterativelly, one subcarrier at a time. Using the inversion lemma the total complexity is O(N2K2). For each subcarrier k, we must solve the following system of equations AH k Ak + σ2 w IN gk = AH k x x x x ... x x x x x ... x x x x x ... x x x x x ... x A_1 A_2 . . . A_N
  11. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Proposed Method: Regularized Estimation

    Regularized estimation methods combat inexact modeling of y = As + w (5) In our case, Tikhonov regularization for the minimization of J (gk) = E{ sk − gH k y 2 2 } + Γgk 2 2 (6) where gk ∈ CN×1 the equalizer of the k-th stream, and Γ a suitably chosen regularization matrix. The minimization of aforementioned problem ∀k results into ˆ sR = (AHA + ΓHΓ + σ2 w IN)−1AHy (7)
  12. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Proposed System Model Let

    us express the channel matrix as A = ˆ A + ∆ (8) where ˆ A is a banded matrix constructed from the Q upper and Q lower diagonals of A, and ∆ the complement of ˆ A which contains the remaining ICI terms. The received symbols in the frequency-domain can be expressed as y = ˆ As signal + ∆s + w noise term (9) We have developed a regularized estimation framework for MMSE ICI equalization in frequency domain, in order to reduce the truncation effects.
  13. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Proposed Equalizer We make

    the assumption that the terms of ∆ are random variables with E{∆} = 0 and covariance matrix E{∆∆H} The regularized MMSE Equalizer is expressed as (ˆ Aˆ AH + σ2 w I + E{∆∆H})G = ˆ A (10) In general, the matrix ¯ R ˆ Aˆ AH + σ2 w I + E{∆∆H} is a Hermitian Toeplitz and full matrix. In order to keep the linear complexity we should approximate the matrix E{∆∆H} with a banded one.
  14. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Covariance matrix approximation We

    can express the covariance matrix of the channel error as E{δk1 δ∗ k2 } = 1 N2 N−1 n1=0 N−1 n2=0 rt (n1 − n2)Ts × L−1 l=K σ2 l e−j2π(k1−k2)l2/N. (11) where rt(·) = J0(2πfd T) is the zeroth-order Bessel function of the first kind. Under proper conditions (slow-fading channels), the term rt((n1 − n2)Ts) can be approximated by 1. Hence, E{∆∆H} becomes a strongly diagonal matrix.
  15. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Low-Complexity Equalization Algorithm Matrix

    E{∆∆H } can be effectivelly approximated by a banded one. E{∆∆H } B(E{∆∆H }) ≡ BBH (12) We have to solve the banded system ˆ Aˆ AH + σ2 w I + BBH R Gb = ˆ A (13) The equalization algorithm is summarized in the following steps : 1 Construct the banded matrix R. 2 Perform banded LDLH factorization of R. 3 Compute the equalization matrix Gb = (LH )−1 D−1 L−1 ˆ A . 4 Compute the decision symbols ˆ s = Π(GH b y).

  17. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Successive MMSE Cancellation Successive

    cancellation offers effective ICI mitigation. Detecting the date one-by-one we utilize the time diversity. Each subcarrier is associated with one of the N transmitted symbols. At a given iteration, we can subtract the already decided symbols/subcarriers.
  18. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Successive MMSE Cancellation Algorithm

    Step 1: Solve the system RkG|k = B|k , in order to compute the equalizer vector G|k for the k-th subcarrier symbol. Step 2: Estimate the k-th subcarrier symbol, ˜ sk = (G|k )Hy. Step 3: Detect the k-th subcarrier symbol, ˆ sk = Π(˜ sk). Step 4: Cancel the k-th symbol ICI from yk, yk+1 = yk − A|k ˆ sk. Step 5: Update the autocorrelation matrix, Rk+1 = Rk − A|k (A|k )H.

  23. Introduction Slow Fading Fast Fading Conclusions Conclusions The ICI is

    introduced at the receiver due to doubly selective channel. For slow fading channels (small Doppler-spread) the linear equalization is adequate with low-complexity. We have described a regularized MMSE equalizer which accounts the inexact modeling, and through simulation results have been verified that recovers the lost performance while the complexity remains linear. For fast fading (large Doppler-spread), a canellation method (SIC) must be used, which has increased complexity. We have described a CG-based SIC technique has been derived here and has been further improved by proper use of Galerkin projections theory.
