Abstract

In time varying channels, symbol recovery for single carrier cyclic prefix (SCCP) systems becomes complicated, because the orthogonality of channel frequency response (CFR) matrix is destroyed. In response, we propose a block turbo equalization algorithm in the time domain for SCCP to cope with channel time variations. In particular, the band structure of the channel time response (CTR) matrix is exploited to reduce the computational complexity of matrix inversion. In order to use this equalization scheme, accurate channel state information (CSI) must be available. Accordingly, we present a doubly selective channel estimation method for SCCP block transmissions with the aid of a Karhunen-Loeve basis expansion model (KL-BEM). In this method, the channel estimates are firstly obtained by using the cyclic prefix (CP) of each block, and then further refined by employing an expectation maximization (EM) based iterative algorithm. Combining the iterative estimator with the proposed equalizer naturally results in a doubly iterative receiver, the performance of which is shown to come close to the performance with perfect CSI.
