Abstract
The adoption of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing by wireless local area networks and audio/video broadcasting standards testifies to the importance of recovering block precoded transmissions propagating through frequency-selective finite-impulse response (FIR) channels. Existing block transmission standards invoke bandwidth-consuming error control codes to mitigate channel fades, and training sequences to identify the FIR channels. To enable block-by-block receiver processing, we design redundant precoders with cyclic prefix and superimposed training sequences for optimal channel estimation and guaranteed symbol detectability, regardless of the underlying frequency-selective FIR channels. Numerical results are presented to access the performance of the designed training and precoding schemes.
