This paper proposes a blind channel shortening algorithm for uplink reception of a single-carrier interleaved frequency-division multiple-access (SC-IFDMA) system transmitting over a highly-dispersive channel, which is affected by both timing offsets (TOs) and frequency offsets (CFOs). When the length of the cyclic prefix (CP) is insufficient to compensate for channel dispersion and TOs, a common strategy is to shorten the channel by means of time-domain equalization, in order to restore CP properties and ease signal reception. The proposed receiver exhibits a three-stage structure: the first stage performs blind shortening of all the user channel impulse responses (CIRs), by adopting the minimum mean-output energy criterion, without requiring neither a priori knowledge of the CIRs to be shortened, nor preliminary compensation of the CFOs; the second stage performs joint compensation of the CFOs; finally, to alleviate noise amplification effects, possibly arising from CFO compensation, the third stage implements per-user signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) maximization, without requiring knowledge of the shortened CIRs. A theoretical analysis is carried out to assess the effectiveness of the proposed shortening algorithm in the high-SNR regime; moreover, the performances of the overall receiver are validated and compared with those of existing methods by extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations. |
