Summary: 
A low complexity minimum mean squared error (MMSE) equalizer for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over time-varying channels is presented. It uses a small matrix of dominant partial channel information and recursive calculation of matrix inverse to significantly reduce the complexity. Theoretical analysis and simulations results are provided to validate its significant performance or complexity advantages over the previously published MMSE equalizers.
