Abstract

In this paper, we propose a per-tone frequency-domain equalization approach for OFDM over doubly-selective channels. We consider the most general case, where the doubly-selective channel delay spread is larger than the cyclic prefix (CP), which results into inter-block interference (IBI). IBI in conjunction with the Doppler effect destroys the orthogonality between subcarriers and hence, results into severe intercarrier interference (ICI). In this paper, we propose a novel per-tone frequency-domain equalizer (PTFEQ) that is obtained through transferring a time-varying time-domain equalizer (TV-TEQ) to the frequency-domain. The purpose of the TV-TEQ is to restore orthogonality between subcarriers and eliminate ICI. We use the mean-square error criterion to design the PTFEQ. An efficient implementation of the proposed PTFEQ is also discussed. Finally, we show some simulation results of the proposed equalization technique.
