MMSE Frequency-Domain Equalization Using Spectrum Combining for Nyquist Filtered Broadband Single-Carrier Transmission

Single carrier (SC) signal transmission has a property of low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and achieves the frequency diversity gain by the use of frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. In this paper, Nyquist filtered broadband SC transmiss...

Description
Summary:Single carrier (SC) signal transmission has a property of low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and achieves the frequency diversity gain by the use of frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. In this paper, Nyquist filtered broadband SC transmission is considered. As the transmit filter roll-off factor α increases, the signal bandwidth increases and the PAPR reduces. MMSE-FDE using spectrum combining was proposed in [15]. An additional frequency diversity gain can be obtained by making use of the excess bandwidth introduced by the transmit filter and by using spectrum combining. In this paper, we thoroughly investigate how α affects PAPR, BER performance, and throughput performance.
