Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), usually with sufficient cyclic prefix (CP), has been widely applied in various communication systems. The CP in OFDM consumes additional resource and reduces spectrum and energy efficiency. However, channel estimation and signal detection are very challenging for CP-free OFDM systems. In this paper, we propose a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-aided receiver (AI receiver) for a CP-free OFDM system. The AI receiver includes a channel estimation neural network (CE-NET) and a signal detection neural network based on orthogonal approximate message passing (OAMP), called OAMP-NET. The CE-NET is initialized by the least-square channel estimation algorithm and refined by a linear minimum mean-squared error neural network. The OAMP-NET is established by unfolding the iterative OAMP algorithm and adding several trainable parameters to improve the detection performance. We first investigate their performance under different channel models through extensive simulation and then establish a real transmission system using a 5G rapid prototyping system for an over-the-air (OTA) test. Based on our study, the AI receiver can estimate time-varying channels with a single training phase. It also has great robustness to various imperfections and has better performance than those competitive algorithms, especially for high-order modulation. The OTA test further verifies its feasibility to real environments and indicates its potential for future communications systems.
