Study of Widely Linear SC-FDE Systems for Interference Cancellation

Abstract

In this paper, a performance analysis of widely linear (WL) equalizers for single carrier systems using frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) under multiple independent interferences is presented. In this context, the expressions of the mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) for linear and WL equalizers in their regular and iterative versions for this scenario were derived. It was seen that the results obtained with these expressions match the simulated ones. They also show that the performance of the WL equalizers is better when compared to their linear versions regardless of the number of interferences.
