Iterative channel estimation for turbo equalization of time-varying frequency-selective channels

We investigate turbo equalization, or iterative equalization and decoding, as a receiver technology for systems where data is protected by an error-correcting code, shuffled by an interleaver, and mapped onto a signal constellation for transmission over a frequency-selective channel with unknown time-varying channel impulse response. The focus is the concept of soft iterative channel estimation, which is to improve the channel estimate over the iterations by using soft information fed back from the decoder from the previous iteration to generate "extended training sequences" between the actual transmitted training sequences.     

Iterative frequency-domain channel estimation and equalization for single-carrier transmissions without cyclic-prefix

Compared to conventional time-domain equalization, frequency-domain equalization (FDE) presents a computationally efficient alternative for the reception of single carrier (SC) transmissions. In this paper, we consider iterative FDE (IFDE) with explicit frequency-domain channel estimation (FDCE) for non-cyclic-prefixed SC systems. First, an improved IFDE algorithm is presented based on soft iterative interferencecancellation. Second, a new adaptive FDCE (AFDCE) algorithm based on per-tone Kalman filtering is proposed to track and predict the frequency-domain channel coefficients. The AFDCE algorithm employs across-tone noise reduction, exploits temporal correlation between successive blocks, and adaptively updates the auto-regressive model coefficients, bypassing the need for prior knowledge of channel statistics. Finally, block-overlapping is used to facilitate the joint operation of IFDE and AFDCE. Simulation results show that, compared to related IFDE and adaptive channel estimation schemes, the proposed schemes offer lower mean-square error (MSE) in channel prediction, lower bit error rate (BER) after decoding, and robustness to non-stationary channels.

Turbo equalization: adaptive equalization and channel decodingjointly optimized

This paper deals with a receiver scheme where adaptive equalization and channel decoding are jointly optimized in an iterative process. This receiver scheme is well suited for transmissions over a frequency-selective channel with large delay spread and for high spectral efficiency modulations. A low-complexity soft-input soft-output M-ary channel decoder is proposed. Turbo equalization allows intersymbol interference to be reduced drastically. For most time-invariant discrete channels, the turbo-equalizer performance is close to the coded Gaussian channel performance, even for low signal-to-noise ratios. Finally, results over a time-varying frequency-selective channel proves the excellent behavior of the turbo equalizer

Single-user channel estimation and equalization

There has been much interest in blind (self-recovering) channel estimation and blind equalization where no training sequences are available or used. In multipoint networks, whenever a link from the server to one of the tributary stations is interrupted, it is clearly not feasible (or desirable) for the server to start sending a training sequence to re-establish a particular link. In digital communications over fading/multipath channels, a restart is required following a temporary path interruption due to severe fading. During on-line transmission impairment monitoring, the training sequences are obviously not supplied by the transmitter. Consequently, the importance of blind channel compensation research is also strongly supported by practical needs. We present a comprehensive summary of research development on single-user channel estimation and equalization, focusing on both training-based and blind approaches. Our emphasis is on linear time-invariant channels.     

Iterative rake receiver with map channel estimation for ds-cdma systems

We propose an iterative rake receiver structure using an optimum semi-blind channel estimation algorithm for ds-cdma mobile communication systems. This receiver performs an iterative estimation of the channel according to the maximum a posteriori criterion, using the expectation-maximization algorithm. This estimation process requires a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loève orthogonal expansion theorem. The rake receiver uses pilot as well as unknown control and data symbols optimally for improving channel estimation quality. Moreover, it can take into account the coded structure of all unknown transmitted symbols when channel estimation quality is poor or unsatisfactory. The validity of the proposed method is highlighted by simulation results obtained for the FDD mode of the umts interface.
