Abstract

Recently, the Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) system has attracted the attention as an efficient alternative to the Orthogonal Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system in the uplink communications. In this system, the Carrier Frequency Offsets (CFOs) disrupt the orthogonality between subcarriers, and give rise to Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI), and Multiple Access Interference (MAI) among users. In this paper, the impact of the CFOs on the performance of the Discrete Fourier Transform SC-FDMA (DFT-SC-FDMA) and the Discrete Cosine Transform SC-FDMA (DCT-SC-FDMA) systems is investigated. Based on the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) criterion, a new low-complexity joint equalization and CFOs compensation scheme is proposed. It is refered to as the MMSE scheme. The MMSE weights of the proposed scheme are derived taking into account the MAI and the noise. Furthermore, a hybrid scheme comprising the proposed MMSE scheme and a Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC) stage is also suggested and investigated to further enhance the performance of interleaved subcarriers mapping systems. From the obtained simulation results, it is clear that CFOs disrupt the orthogonality between the subcarriers in SC-FDMA systems and degrade the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. The proposed compensation schemes are able to enhance the system performance, even in the presence of the estimation errors.
