Abstract

We investigate the use of a known symbol sequence - a so-called unique word (UW) - instead of the well-known cyclic prefix (as it is used in OFDM, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, systems) for a single carrier system with frequency domain equalization (SC/FDE). The considered SC/FDE system is similar to the one proposed in the IEEE 802.16.3c target group. It is shown that the UW fulfils the theorem of cyclic convolution required for efficient implementation of the SC/FDE structure. We elaborate on the advantages that result for equalization, channel estimation, and synchronisation. Compared to the advantages, the disadvantages in terms of BER behaviour and bandwidth efficiency are rather modest.
