We propose a two-stage precoder/equalizer to suppress intercarrier interference (ICI) and multiuser interference (MUI) in downlink multiuser OFDM with multiple transmit antennas. The first stage, non-linear Tomlinson-Harashima preceding (THP) at the base station (BS) transmitter, mitigates the effect of the spatial inter-stream interference caused by transmission from multiple transmit antennas to decentralized users. In the second stage, each user's receiver employs low- complexity iterative linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) equalization to suppress the ICI due to frequency offset. Our proposed technique virtually eliminates the bit error rate (BER) degradation due to normalized frequency offsets as high as 10%.
