A new low complexity Turbo frequency domain equalization (FDE) and channel estimation algo- rithm based on variational inference framework is proposed for the coded single-carrier transmission in time-var- ying frequency selective channels. The algorithm enables an uniform handling of channel estimation error in the deign of soft-input soft-output detector and the inter block interference canceler. Furthermore, by analyzing the receive signal's factor graph, a dual iterative implementation scheme of the algorithm is considered, in which the inner iterative serves for joint FDE and soft channel estimation and the outer one performs interference can- cellation and decoding. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver outperforms, both in bit-error-rate and in robustness to the strength of superimposed training signal, the expectation maximum based scheme with a similar computational complexity.
