Description
Summary:This letter deals with frequency domain equalization (FDE) in the presence of residual timing offsets. A novel iterative decision feedback equalizer for single-carrier FDE systems is proposed. Different from conventional schemes based on explicit point time-delay estimates, the proposed scheme operates directly on the oversampled matched filter output. For each iteration, FDE is performed first, and based on which, joint posterior distribution of the channel and timing parameters is obtained. A set of weights obtained from the corresponding posterior distribution, rather than explicit point time-delay estimate, are utilized for the time-delay compensation, eliminating the need of fine timing synchronization. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme enables evident performance improvement in terms of symbol error rate compared with conventional schemes under relative low sampling rate.
