A low complex minimum mean-square error frequency-domain decision feedback (MMSE-FDDF) equalization algorithm is proposed in this paper for the single-carrier V-BLAST systems. Exploiting the factor that the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is unitary, the proposed receiver can equalize the signals by the MMSE detecting to the spectrums in the frequency domain instead of the waveforms in the time domain. In order to obtain the right decisions, the detector must be able to equalize the overall spectrum with regard to each layer. This work can be performed very efficiently since the system matrix has been designed as a special block-circulant-block matrix. Similar to other V-BLAST-like systems, the detecting order has strong impact on the performance of MMSE-FDDF. Therefore, we further give a fast optimally sorting scheme for the MMSE-FDDF architecture. By using the newly constructed matrix, the coefficients computation and the sorting can be combined into one process, and then we employ the modified Gram-Schmidt (MGS) to simplify the process. The simulation results and the computational complexity analysis show that the proposed MMSE-FDDF has better tradeoff between the performance and the complexity than the existing algorithms. In addition, MMSE-FDDF can avoid the performance floor caused by the overlap-and-save technique in the severe dispersive channel.
Focusing on space-time block code (STBC) systems with unknown co-channel interference, an oblique projection-based robust linear receiver is proposed in this paper.Based on the oblique projection, the desired signal subspace and interference-plus-noise subspace are first identified from the received signal.Then the matched filter receiver is used to decode the STBC encoded signals in the desired signal subspace.Simulation results show that the proposed linear receiver obtains significant performance improvement over conventional Capon-type receivers under finite sample-size situations and in the presence of channel estimation errors.
