We present a low-complexity equalizer for multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) downlink systems over time-varying (TV) multipath channels with non-negligible Doppler spread. The equalization algorithm, which is based on a block minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) approach, exploits the band structure of the frequency-domain channel matrix by means of a band LDLH factorization. The complexity of the proposed block MMSE equalizer is linear in the number of subcarriers, and smaller with respect to a serial MMSE equalizer characterized by a similar performance.

Abstract

We present a low-complexity equalizer for multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) downlink systems over time-varying (TV) multipath channels with non-negligible Doppler spread. The equalization algorithm, which is based on a block minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) approach, exploits the band structure of the frequency-domain channel matrix by means of a band LDLH factorization. The complexity of the proposed block MMSE equalizer is linear in the number of subcarriers, and smaller with respect to a serial MMSE equalizer characterized by a similar performance.
