By reducing the number of equalizer’s taps, the calculation<br />

complexity is reduced largely.<br />

VI. SIMULATION RESULT<br />

In our simulations, we investigate the performance of both the<br />

ZF equalizer and MMSE equalizer. A three-path BEM channel<br />

was considered. Other parameters are listed below:<br />

Tab. 1. Simulation parameter.<br />

Doppler spread fmax<br />

100 Hz<br />

Delay spread τmax 65.1 µ s<br />

Block size N 768<br />

Symbol/sample period T 21.7 µ s<br />

Discrete Doppler spread Q/2=<br />

⎡⎢ fmax NT ⎤⎥<br />

Discrete delay spread L=<br />

max /T τ ⎡⎢ ⎤⎥<br />

Note that the maximum Doppler spread of 100Hz corresponds<br />

to a vehicle speed of 60 km/h and a carrier frequency of 1.35GHz.<br />

Fig. 5 BER performance of the MMSE equalizer.<br />

Fig.4 and Fig.5 illustrate the BER performance of ZF and<br />

MMSE equalization respectively. The number of subcarrier is<br />

1024, and 3-tap, 5-tap ZF and MMSE equalizers are considered.<br />

The figures show that the 5-tap equalizer has better performance<br />

than 3-tap one. So we can change the number of equalizer’s tap to<br />

get the tradeoff between the complexity and performance.<br />

VII. CONCLUSION<br />

In this paper, we have utilized the basis expansion model (BEM)<br />

to get a good comprise between complexity and performance in<br />

conventional frequency domain equalizer. Both ZF and MMSE<br />

equalization are considered.<br />
