Abstract

Frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion is a promising equalization technique for the broadband single-carrier (SC) transmission. However, the presence of timing offset produces the inter-symbol interference (ISI) and degrades the bit error rate (BER) performance. As the roll-off factor of the transmit filter increases, the performance degradation gets larger. In this paper, we propose joint MMSE-FDE & spectrum combining which can achieve the frequency diversity gain while suppressing the negative impact of timing offset for the SC transmission.
