In this paper, a new blind equalization for multiuser multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems under Rayleigh multipath fading channel is proposed. The later causes the ICI and ISI that destroy the relationship of the guard interval (GI) redundancy. Through exploiting the structural properties of MC-CDMA transmitted signal, the estimation can be resolved using least square fitting (LSF) and subspace approaches. Indeed, GI redundancy together with excess codes (EC) are used to restore the MC-CDMA properties. In addition, we propose the use of the previous algorithms in conjunction with a constant modulus algorithm (CMA) to improve the performance gain. Our simulation results show the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
