Abstract

In this paper, we design a frame structure for unique word (UW) based transmission of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems under doubly-dispersive wireless channel conditions. We elaborate an energy and spectral efficiency analysis of a MIMO UW-based system vs. a conventional MIMO cyclic prefix (CP)-based system. Considering the UW-based transmission for a MIMO multi-carrier, we derive its signal processing algorithms for channel estimation and joint channel-equalization-and-demodulation. Through theoretical derivations as well as extensive simulations, we show that the proposed MIMO UW-based system significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches.
