Abstract
Offset-QAM-based filterbank multicarrier (FBMC-OQAM) modulations are known to progressively loose their orthogonality as the channel gets more selective in time and frequency. The effect of channel frequency selectivity on FBMC-OQAM systems has been extensively studied in the literature. Many compensations methods have been proposed to combat it. However, most of them have a significant implementation complexity and do not take into account the time selective nature of the channel. In this paper, we propose a MIMO equalizing structure for doubly selective channel based on a simple single-tap per-subcarrier decoding matrix. The decoding matrices are designed to minimize the mean squared error of the symbol estimate. This decoder exploits the degrees of freedom offered by the extra antennas at the receiver to compensate for the distortion induced by time and frequency selectivity. Simulation results demonstrate the performance gain of the proposed design with respect to classical designs.
