Study of Parameters Effect on the Performance of Precoding and Equalizer Sharing Systems

In this paper, the authors study the effect of the block length and the channel impulse response on the performance of three block transmission systems. The main idea of the block transmission system is to transmit the data in blocks of certain length and to use signal processing networks either in the transmitter or the receiver to eliminate the effect of the multipath channel. So, both the block length and the channel impulse response will play an important role in the system performance. The first studied system moves all the signal processing operations from the receiver to the transmitter and leaves the receiver quite simple (pre-coding).
