We propose a joint iterative transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) minimum mean square error (MMSE) frequency-domain equalization (FDE) and intersymbol interference cancellation (ISIC) suitable for single-carrier (SC) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) with chase combining (CC). In the proposed scheme, a one-tap transmit MMSE-FDE and an iterative one-tap receive MMSE-FDE and ISIC are employed. Every time the retransmitted packet is received, a series of receive MMSE-FDE, antenna diversity combining, packet combining, and ISIC is carried out in an iterative manner by using updated receive MMSE-FDE weights in each iteration. The transmit MMSE-FDE weight is determined based on the prediction of the degree of residual ISI after the iteration process in a receiver. We theoretically derive a set of transmit and receive MMSE-FDE weights. We show by computer simulation that joint iterative Tx/Rx MMSE-FDE and ISIC achieves better packet error rate (PER) and higher throughput of SC-HARQ than the conventional Rx MMSE-FDE and ISIC.

1. Introduction The broadband wireless channel comprises many propagation paths having different time delays [1]. The minimum mean square error frequency-domain equalization (MMSEFDE) provides good bit error rate (BER) performance for broadband single-carrier (SC) transmissions in a severe frequency-selective fading channel [2–4]. However, the performance of SC using the MMSE-FDE is still a few dB away from the theoretical lower-bound due to residual intersymbol interference (ISI) after MMSE-FDE. The use of iterative MMSE-FDE and ISI cancellation (ISIC) has been extensively studied [5–10]. In [5–8], iterative receive (Rx) MMSE-FDE and ISIC was proposed. The receive FDE weight is updated based on the MMSE criterion by using the reliability information of data detection at the previous iteration. In [8], channel decoding is incorporated into each iteration process to further improve the performance. In [9, 10], iterative Rx MMSE-FDE and ISIC was proposed for SC-hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ).

Recently, we took a different approach from the iterative receive processing and proposed a joint transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) MMSE-FDE [11] that exploits the channel state information (CSI) at both the transmitter and the receiver to improve the performance of broadb
