ESTIMATING DATA SYMBOLS FROM A FILTER BANK MULTICARRIER (FBMC) SIGNAL

摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed which estimate transmitted data symbols from a received Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) signal by utilizing intrinsic interference as parity information. For each intrinsic interference symbol, a corresponding estimated parity symbol is obtained based on one or more of the received data symbols. The transmitted data symbols are then estimated by identifying a set of data symbols which provide a closer match between the intrinsic interference symbols and estimated parity symbols obtained based on the estimated transmitted data symbols, relative to a match between the intrinsic interference symbols and the estimated parity symbols obtained based on the received data symbols.
