Abstract
An electronic receiver may comprise nonlinear distortion modeling circuitry, interference estimation circuitry, and sequence estimation circuitry. The receiver may receive an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in the form of an electromagnetic signal. The nonlinear distortion modeling circuitry may generate a nonlinear distortion model that models nonlinear distortion introduced to the received electromagnetic signal en route to the sequence estimation circuitry. The interference estimation circuitry may estimate inter-subcarrier interference present in the received OFDM symbol based on the generated nonlinear distortion model. The estimating of the inter-subcarrier interference may comprise applying the nonlinear distortion model to one or more candidate vectors generated by the sequence estimation circuitry. The sequence estimation circuitry may sequentially process a plurality of received virtual subcarrier values of the OFDM symbol using the estimated inter-subcarrier interference.
