Effect of pilot-assisted Channel Estimation on the BER performance of the OFDM/TDM with Frequency-domain Equalization

چکیده
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) combined with time division multiplexing (TDM), called OFDM/TDM, can overcome the high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) problem of the conventional OFDM. Its bit error rate (BER) performance in a frequency-selective fading channel is improved by adoption of frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. However, MMSE-FDE requires accurate channel estimation. In this paper, a pilot-assisted channel estimation scheme suitable for OFDM/TDM with MMSE-FDE is presented and the achievable BER performance is evaluated by computer simulation. Keyword: OFDM/TDM, frequency-domain equalization, pilot-assisted channel estimation.

BER Performance of Clipped and Filtered OFDM/TDM with Pilot-assisted Channel Estimation
Abstract: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing combined with time division multiplexing (OFDM/TDM) was proposed to overcome the high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) of conventional OFDM. Clipping and filtering can be used to further reduce the PAPR. OFDM/TDM with minimum mean square error (MMSE) frequency-domain equalization (FDE) requires accurate channel estimation (CE). In this pape...
متن کاملEffect of High-power Amplifier on OFDM/TDM
Recently, to reduce a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM we proposed OFDM combined with time division multiplexing (OFDM/TDM). Using the frequency-domain equalization (FDE), improved BER performance is achieved. Since the OFDM/TDM cannot completely solve the PAPR problem, some amount of input back-off (IBO) from the saturation point of high-power amplifier (HPA) may be required to ...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with frequency domain equalization (FDE) requires reliable channel estimation (CE). In practice, pilot assisted CE can be either based on timeor frequency-domain multiplexed pilot symbols (i.e. TDM-pilot and FDM-pilot). It this paper, the impact of quantization noise introduced by digital-to-analog (DA) and analog-to-digital (AD) converte...

MMSE-FDE can improve the transmission performance of OFDM combined with time division multiplexing (OFDM/TDM), but knowledge of the channel state information and the noise variance is required to compute the MMSE weight. In this paper, a performance evaluation of OFDM/TDM using MMSE-FDE with pilot-assisted channel estimation over a fast fading channel is presented. To improve the tracking abili...
