Summary: 
In OFDM systems, employing a cyclic prefix (CP) as the guard interval is a simple way to combat the inter-symbol interference (ISI) and the inter-carrier interference (ICI), however it reduces the transmission efficiency of the system, especially for some channels with a very long delay spread. In this paper, we consider the OFDM system with insufficient CP, much more efficient than conventional OFDM systems. First, we present the system mathematical model and give the ISI and ICI analysis. Then the signal-to-interference power ratio (SIR) performance is presented. To reduce the ISI and ICI due to the insufficient CP, we develop a minimum-mean-square-error decision feedback equalizer (MMSE_DFE). Based on the MMSE criterion, the optimum feedforward and feedback filter coefficients are derived. For time-varying channel, to avoid brute force matrix inversion in conventional schemes, we propose an adaptive LMS based solution to update the filtering coefficients by tracing the channel variation. Since the high complexity of MMSE_DFE, a reduced complexity scheme, ordered successive partial interference cancellation DFE (OSPIC_DFE), is developed. From the performance comparison between the MMSE_DFE and the OSPIC_DFE, we see that the latter is very near to the former. Finally the simulation shows these proposed methods are highly effective in combating ISI and ICI with low complexity.
