Off-line frequency correction for equalization in the EDGE system

A robust and low complexity receiver is addressed, which meets the EDGE specification requirements by using an off-line non-adaptive equalizer. Specifically, the problem of correcting a random burst-by-burst frequency offset in an EDGE receiver is studied. Simulation results show that the EDGE (handset) requirements for the TU50 propagation scenario can be met for all coding schemes with 8-PSK modulation by using a simple off-line training-based DFE with decision-directed frequency offset correction.
