Abstract

The task of equalization on the receiver side of a wireless communication system is typically accomplished with model-based estimation methods. However, the utilization of data-driven approaches, e.g., neural networks (NNs), for equalization is in focus of current research. In this work, we investigate two different NNs for single-carrier frequency domain equalization. We elaborate on how existing model knowledge can be incorporated into NNs, we introduce a data normalization scheme required for the regarded NNs, and we compare these data-driven methods with model-based approaches concerning performance and complexity.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We refer to an NN whose structure is deduced from model knowledge as “model-inspired”.

  2. 2.

    Let \(\textbf{v}_{\text {in}}^{(q)}\) and \(\textbf{v}_{\text {hid}}^{(q)}\) denote the input and the output of the qth hidden layer. When employing a weighted residual connection, the input \(\textbf{v}_{\text {in}}^{(q+1)}\) of the follow-up hidden layer is \(\textbf{v}_{\text {in}}^{(q+1)} = \beta \textbf{v}_{\text {in}}^{(q)} + (1-\beta )\textbf{v}_{\text {hid}}^{(q)}\), with \(\beta \in [0,1[\).

  3. 3.

    The complexity analysis is conducted in the same way as in [1].
