A novel iterative scheme for parallel inter-symbol interference channels

In this paper, we propose a novel iterative scheme for exploiting transmit diversity using parallel independent Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) channels. In this adaptive iterative scheme, we use EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart tool to choose appropriate iterative method from Iterative Combining (IC), used as parallel concatenation turbo-like scheme, and Turbo Equalization (TE),used as serial concatenation turbo-like scheme. It is show that the proposed iterative scheme provides excellent performance both analytically and through simulations without any compute complexity increase comparable to IC.
