MC-CDMA System Identification and Equalization Using the LMS Algorithm and Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy System

In this paper we are focused on the Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) equalization problem. The equalization is performed using the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and Zero Forcing (ZF) equalizer based on the identified parameters representing the indoor scenario (European Telecommunications Standards Institute Broadband Radio Access Networks (ETSI BRAN A) channel model), and outdoor scenario (ETSI BRAN E channel model). These channels are normalized for fourth-generation mobile communication systems. However, for such high-speed data transmissions, the channel is severely frequency-selective due to the presence of many interfering paths with different time delays. The identification problem is performed using the Least Mean Squares (LMS) algorithm and the Takagi-Sugueno (TS) fuzzy system. The comparison between these techniques, for the channel identification, will be made for different Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR).
