3. Introduction(1/3)  The advantage of OFDM ’ s parallel transmission scheme: frequency selective channel  multiple flat fading sub-channels  the sub-channel equalization in frequency is simple Transmit Spectrum Receive Spectrum Channel Training Tone Data Tone Channel Spectrum

4. Introduction(2/3)  The main factors that distort the signal in OFDM system: Channel Noise Frequency offset: CFO (carrier frequency offset), SFO (sampling frequency offset)

5. Introduction(3/3)  The benefit of the proposed equalizer structure: Compensate signal distorted by the channel, CFO and SFO at the same time The division operation is not required Combine with CSI to improve system performance

6. System overview (receiver) In the proposed FEQ structure, the constellation must be adjusted Signal affect by channel SFO, CFO, noise, etc.. CSI is obtain from 1-tap FEQ A modified RLS algorithm is used or … or

10. A Novel 1-tap frequency domain RLS equalizer(4/4)  We have to adjust the constellation of the equalized signal by Φ k,l times on each sub- carrier 13-3 -3 1 3 - 3 -3-3 - -3-3 3 : Equalized signal constellation size multiply by Φ k,l times

11. Viterbi Decoding with CSI(1/3)  CSI (channel state information) Each sub-carrier experiences different flat fading (SNR) SNR high  high reliability SNR low  low reliability Those reliabilities can be collected as the CSI

12. Viterbi Decoding with CSI(2/3)  VITERBI DECODING WITH CSI We use CSI to reflect different sub- channel fading Viterbi decoding: select the path on code trellis with the minimum Euclidean distance Adding CSI when calculating the Euclidean distance  improve reliability on calculating the Euclidean distance

13. Viterbi Decoding with CSI(3/3)  The calculation of the Euclidean distance:  When SNR is high enough:  Adding CSI to D : the adjusted signal constellation : possible transmitted signal n : n-th de-interleaver output
