چکیده

The problem of design and placing pilot symbols for the estimation of frequency selective random channels is considered. For both SISO and MIMO channels, the Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB) on the mean square error of channel estimators is derived and minimized with respect to the pilot symbols and their placement. It is shown that placing pilot symbols, possibly in multiple clusters, in the middle of the data packet leads to minimum CRB.

Preamble and pilot symbol design for channel estimation in OFDM systems with null subcarriers

In this article, design of preamble for channel estimation and pilot symbols for pilot-assisted channel estimation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system with null subcarriers is studied. Both the preambles and pilot symbols are designed to minimize the l2 or the l∞ norm of the channel estimate mean-squared errors (MSE) in frequency-selective environments. We use convex optimizati...

Optimal Pilot Placement for Semi-Blind Channel Tracking of Packetized Transmission over Time-Varying Channels∗

The problem of optimal placement of pilot symbols is considered for single carrier packet-based transmission over time varying channels. Both flat and frequency-selective fading channels are considered, and the time variation of the channel is modeled by Gauss-Markov process. The semi-blind linear minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) channel estimation is used. Two different performance criteria, ...

Pilot Symbol Design for Channel Estimation in OFDM with Null Subcarriers

The problem of training symbol placement and power for the channel estimation of OFDM over block-fading channel in the presence of null subcarriers is considered. We use convex optimization techniques to find a pilot design that results in near-optimal channel estimation. We design OFDM preamble and then, based on the obtained preambles, we design pilot symbols and their placements for pilot ai...

Optimal Placement of Training for Channel Estimation and Tracking

The problem of training symbol placement for the estimation of block-fading channel is first considered. The channel is frequency selective with correlated random taps. The Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB) on the mean square error (MSE) of channel estimators is derived and minimized with respect to the pilot symbols and their placement. It is shown that, among all orthogonal pilot sequence placements, th...

Channel estimation for space-time orthogonal block codes

Space-time coding is an efficient technique to exploit transmitting and receiving diversities for wireless channels. One of the key components in the design of receivers for space-time codes is channel estimation. For the block codes based on orthogonal design proposed by Alamouti and Tarokh, a new class of pilot assisted channel estimation schemes are presented where pilot symbols are superimp...
