A different look on cyclic prefix for SC/FDE
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we investigate the use of a known symbol sequence – a so-called unique word (UW) – instead of the well-known cyclic prefix (as it is used in OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems) for a single carrier system with frequency domain equalization (SC/FDE). The considered SC/FDE system is similar to the one proposed in the IEEE 802.16.3c target group. It is shown that the UW fulfils the theorem of cyclic convolution required for the efficient implementation of the SC/FDE structure. We will elaborate on the advantages that result for equalization, channel estimation, and synchronisation. Compared to the advantages, the disadvantages in terms of BER behaviour and bandwidth efficiency are rather modest.

Performance of Cyclic Prefix Assisted Single Carrier CDMA Uplink System with MIMO Multiplexing
In this paper, we describe a novel type of cyclic prefix assisted single carrier CDMA system with Frequency Domain Equalization (FDE) and MIMO Multiplexing. The proposed method is referred to as MIMO SC/FDE CDMA. Multipath Interference can be mitigated by inserting cyclic prefix at the transmitter. Furthermore, we use different scrambling codes to separate different transmit antennas. At the re...

In the square-root Nyquist transmit-filtered single-carrier (SC) transmission, increasing the roll-off factor can reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmit signal. Furthermore, since the signal bandwidth becomes wider, larger frequency diversity gain can be achieved. In our previous work, we proposed joint minimum mean square error frequency-domain equalization (MMSE-FDE) & ...

For conventional CP-assisted (Cyclic Prefix) block transmission systems, the CP length is selected on the basis of the expected maximum delay spread. With regard to SC-based (Single Carrier) block transmission implementations, a full-length CP is recommendable, since it allows good performances through the use of simple FDE (Frequency-Domain Equalization) techniques. Recently, an algorithm for ...
