Leakage Estimation in DFT-based Channel Estimator for OFDM by using Minimum Mean Square Estimator

For high data rate communication with the required Quality of Service (QoS) in 3G and 4G systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is proposed. We present a novel discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based channel estimator for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The conventional DFT-based estimator zeroes out noise-dominant values in the transform domain, wh...

Performance Analysis of Different Estimators for Channel Estimation in OFDM Systems

The present work addresses channel estimation based on the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and Least Square (LS) criteria and also considers time-domain channel statistics. It presents an optimal criterion for the pilots, and corresponding optimal designs enabling complexity reductions. Using a general model for a slowly fading channel, the MMSE and LS estimators and a method for modifications...

Empirical Mode Decomposition based Adaptive Filtering for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Channel Estimation

This paper presents an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based adaptive filter (AF) for channel estimation in OFDM system.  In this method, length of channel impulse response (CIR) is first approximated using Akaike information criterion (AIC). Then, CIR is estimated using adaptive filter with EMD decomposed IMF of the received OFDM symbol. The correlation and kurtosis measures are used to sel...

A Composite LMMSE Channel Estimator for Spectrum-Efficient OFDM Transmit Diversity

In this paper, we propose a subcarrier allocation method and a composite linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimator to increase spectrum efficiency in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmit diversity. The pilot symbols for OFDM transmit (Alamouti) diversity are exclusively allocated in two OFDM symbols in different antennas, which causes serious degradation o...
