Estimation of IQI for AF Cooperative Single-Carrier Frequency Domain Equalization Systems Using Channel Decoder Feedback

The process of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying is essential to the improvement both current and future wireless communication standards. Nevertheless, significant performance loss may be posed by in-phase quadrature imbalance (IQI) caused defects in radio frequency components. Prior studies into this research problem were restricted uncoded broadcasts, even though error-correcting codes are frequently used real applications. To purpose, we develop a novel approach applicable destination terminal for estimating compensating IQI that occurs at source, relay, terminals. proposed explored context coded emissions AF single-carrier domain equalization (SC-FDE) systems. In contrast other methods mitigating deflection each node, system estimates compensates all parameters channel impulse responses simultaneously. With use an iterative expectation–maximization (EM) process, maximum-likelihood (ML) solution computed. At round, soft information supplied decoder employed create posteriori expectations sent data symbols, which then fed estimation as if they training symbols. addition, address how estimated perform task detection. offered predictor detector exchange sequential boosting overall effectiveness. simulation results show method not only practicable but superior established methods.
