TURBO AIDED CYCLIC PREFIX RECONSTRUCTION FOR CODED SINGLE-CARRIER SYSTEMS WITH FREQUENCY-DOMAIN EQUALIZATION (SC-FDE)

In this paper, a Turbo aided Cyclic Prefix (CP) reconstruction scheme, termed Turbo- CPR, is proposed for Single-Carrier systems with Frequency-Domain Equalization (SC-FDE) that employ insufficient CP in the transmitter. In Turbo-CPR, the decoder output is incorporated in the process of equalization, i.e. Turbo equalizer is employed. It is shown in the simulation results that Turbo-CPR not only recovers the performance loss due to insufficiency of CP, but also provides extra gains over the lower bound of performance for conventional CP reconstruction schemes.

LLR calculation for LDPC coded SCBT in 60 GHz WPAN

The single-carrier block transmission（SCBT）,a.k.a.,single-carrier frequency-domain equalization（SC-FDE）,is being considered as an option technique for the wireless personal area network（WPAN） operating at 60 GHz.It is found that for residential environment,in non-line-of-sight（NLOS） multi-path channels,the SCBT is much more effective to combat the inter-symbol interference（ISI） compared with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing（OFDM）.Low-density parity-check（LDPC） codes are a class of linear block codes which provide near capacity performance on a large collection of data transmission and storage channels while simultaneously admitting implementable decoders.To facilitate using LDPC codes for SCBT system,a new log-likelihood ratio（LLR） calculation method is proposed based on pilot symbols（PS）.Golay Sequences whose sum autocorrelation has a unique peak and zero sidelobe are used for creating the PS.The position and length of the PS are not fixed in the data blocks.The simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the LDPC decoding performance in SCBT system.This is very promising to support ultra high-data-rate wireless transmission.

A PILOT-ASSISTED NON-CYCLIC PREFIXED MIMO-SCFDE SYSTEM

A non-Cyclic Prefixed Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization (non-CP MIMO-SCFDE) system based on a recursive algorithm of Joint Channel Es- timation and Data Detection (recursive-JCEDD) is proposed in this paper. Unlike the traditional CP MIMO-SCFDE system, the transmitted block of the proposed system is designed in the way that block-type pilot sequences and Single-Carrier (SC) information sequences have been arranged alter- nately without any cyclic prefix before each SC information sequence. Moreover, a recursive-JCEDD algorithm based on interference cancellation is proposed for the corresponding receivers. Simulation results show that the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the proposed system based on the recursive-JCEDD algorithm is lower than traditional CP MIMO-SCFDE or MIMO-OFDM with channel estimation for more than 0.5 dB.

Beam squint effect on high-throughput millimeter-wave communication with an ultra-massive phased array

An ultra-massive phased array can be deployed in high-throughput millimeter-wave(mmWave)communication systems to increase the transmission distance.However,when the signal bandwidth is large,the antenna array response changes with the frequency,causing beam squint.In this paper,we investigate the beam squint effect on a high-throughput mmWave communication system with the single-carrier frequency-domain equalization transmission scheme.Specifically,we first view analog beamforming and the physical channel as a spatial equivalent channel.The characteristics of the spatial equivalent channel are analyzed which behaves like frequency-selective fading.To eliminate the deep fading points in the spatial equivalent channel,an advanced analog beamforming method is proposed based on the Zadoff-Chu(ZC)sequence.Then,the low-complexity linear zero-forcing and minimum mean squared error equalizers are considered at the receiver.Simulation results indicate that the proposed ZC-based analog beamforming method can effectively mitigate the performance loss by the beam squint.
