There are two feedback filters. One is the decision feedback filter which uses the simplified trellis decoder output data, the other is non-decision feedback filter which uses the equalizer output data.

On the other hand, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based channel estimation algorithm is inferior to MMSE algorithm but it has the advantage of a relatively low complexity. We particularly focus on improving this DFT-based estimator by combing in iterative channel update with turbo decoding.

For time division duplex TDD systems, the transmitter estimates the CSI while receiving data at current time slot and then uses the CSI to transmit at the next time slot. When the wireless channel is time-varying, the CSI for transmission is imperfect due to the time delay between the estimation of the channel and the transmission of the data and severely degrades the system performance. In this paper, we propose a linear method to suppress the interferences among users and data streams caused by imperfect CSI at transmitter. The transmitter first sends pilot signals through a linear spatial precoding matrix so as to make possible that the receiver can estimate the interference, and then the receiver exploits a linear prefilter to suppress the interference.
