Interference-aware iterative block decision feedback equalizer for single-carrier transmission

The deployment of increasingly dense heterogeneous mobile networks can create high levels of interference among users that, combined with severely time-dispersive channels, can result in substantial performance degradation. To cope with both effects, in this paper, we propose an iterative block decision feedback equalizer (IBDFE) for single carrier (SC) transmissions that makes use of the correlation between the interference in the receiving antennas and minimizes the mean squared error (MSE) of the detected symbols. Our analytic and simulated performance results show that the proposed receiver can clearly outperform the conventional IBDFE and the linear interference rejection combining (IRC) detector in severely time-dispersive channels with strong cochannel interference.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

D4.3 Final Report on Network-Level Solutions

Research activities in METIS reported in this document focus on proposing solutions to the network-level challenges of future wireless communication networks. Thereby, a large variety of scenarios is considered and a set of technical concepts is proposed to serve the needs envisioned for the 2020 and beyond. This document provides the final findings on several network-level aspects and groups of solutions that are considered essential for designing future 5G solutions. Specifically, it elaborates on: -Interference management and resource allocation schemes -Mobility management and robustness enhancements -Context aware approaches -D2D and V2X mechanisms -Technology components focused on clustering -Dynamic reconfiguration enablers These novel network-level technology concepts are evaluated against requirements defined by METIS for future 5G systems. Moreover, functional enablers which can support the solutions mentioned aboveare proposed. We find that the network level solutions and technology components developed during the course of METIS complement the lower layer technology components and thereby effectively contribute to meeting 5G requirements and targets.Aydin, O.; Valentin, S.; Ren, Z.; Botsov, M.; Lakshmana, TR.; Sui, Y.; Sun, W....
