The architecture of iterative processing based on the Turbo principle can be summarized as separate estimation/detection and decoding blocks exchanging information for mutual performance improvement. Within the iterative structure, we first develop sequential and joint estimators for CFO and multipath channel coefficients. More efficient estimators are then developed for sparse channels. Finally, the optimal power allocation between pilots and data for the OFDM iterative receiver is investigated using the EXIT chart. We show that the optimal power allocation strategy can be quite different for the iterative versus non-iterative receiver. The proposed system is implemented in hardware and underwater field tests are conducted. The successful underwater test results show the effectiveness of the proposed receiver.
