An optimized iterative (Turbo) receiver for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission is proposed for improved performance when used with type-I hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) protocols. The proposed receiver is a Maximum Aposteriori Expectation-Maximization (MAP-EM) Turbo processor that exploits information from all available transmissions of a packet, including failed and new ones. Two distinct practical problems associated with OFDM are considered: (i) Clipping due to non-linearities in the transmit amplifier, and (ii) Carrier frequency offset (CFO). In the optimized scheme, failed transmissions are combined with the new ones to form an iterative receiver that jointly estimates the channel, compensates for the distortion (clipping, or CFO) and decodes the message. The modulation employed is M-ary Phase Shift Keying (MPSK). The system uses an embedded pilot structure for initial channel estimation of the channel, which is assumed doubly-selective. It is shown that gains on the order of 3 dB are achieved in the packet rejection probability with the proposed system. The performance of the optimized system is close to that of the ideal system, i.e. one that performs packet combining with perfect channel knowledge, no clipping, and no CFO.
