Abstract

In this work, we propose an iterative algorithm for the detection of transmitted symbols at the uplink of an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) system. The algorithm allows distinct frequency-offsets (FO)s from each user that cause multiple-access and self interference. The proposed algorithm squeezes the interference of subcarrier k into 2D + 1 nearby subcarriers by preprocessing the received signal and yields a banded structure interference matrix. Here, the value of D depends on the FO and determines the squeezing depth. The proposed algorithm exploits this banded structure and realizes a low complexity iterative soft-interference-cancellation minimum mean-squared error (SIC-MMSE) equalizer that can be used in Turbo equalization. Simulation results show that the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the proposed algorithm outperforms existing detection algorithms and is very much close to the zero-FO frequency-domain-equalization (zero-FO-FDE).
