摘要:
An interference cancellation receiver for a pre-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) based system combines temporal interference cancellation within the OFDM framework. Multi-path equalization and inter-symbol interference (ISI) cancellation are performed on a time domain channel estimate of a received signal. An output from the multi-path equalization is transformed to the frequency domain. Inter-channel interference (ICI) is performed in the frequency domain on an equalized signal from the multi-path equalization after transforming the equalized signal from the time domain to the frequency domain.

摘要:
A novel symbol estimation method produces intersymbol interference free symbols by detecting interfering symbols in an interfering channel. A channel estimate is refined for additional improvements. The method can lends itself as a serial or parallel algorithm implementation. The symbol estimation method includes using an initial estimate of received symbols and calculating a refined estimate of the received symbols using a channel estimate. The refined estimate is calculated by performing parameterization of intersymbol interference by symbols other than the symbol being refined and selecting a refined value for the symbol being refined by evaluating an optimization function. Symbol estimates are refined in multiple iterations, until a predetermined iteration termination criterion is met. Parameterization of ISI contribution of other symbols results in reduced computation by reducing total number of unknown variables in the refinement operation.
