“…Another FDE approach, with lower complexity, is the so-called iterative block decision-feedback equalization (IB-DFE), which does not use decoding within the iterative process. This approach, introduced in [4], was later extended and shown to be easily compatible with space diversity and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems [5], [6], as well as selected CP-assisted orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA)-type and code-division multiple-access (CDMA) schemes [7]- [9]. Since a full-length CP reduces the block transmission efficiency, the possibility of adopting a reduced CP (below the channel memory order), while keeping an essentially FFT-based implementation, deserves to be considered.…”
