Time-varying and frequency-selective channel estimation with unequally spaced pilot symbols
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an accurate and computationally efficient algorithm is proposed for estimating time-varying and frequency-selective fading channel with unequally spaced pilot symbols. By employing the time-varying coefficient polynomial interpolation method, it is proved that the time-varying channel impulse response can be estimated by the product of a constant interpolation matrix and the fading information at pilot symbol positions. Furthermore. a least square off-line training algorithm is presented to optimally calculate the constant matrix, taking into consideration of the statistics of channel fading and noise. Simulation results indicate that the hit ermr rate performance of our new estimation algorithm is close to that of the perfect channel estimation.

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...

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, ...

Enabling linear minimum-mean square error (LMMSE) based estimation of random time-selective channels, Pilot Symbol Assisted Modulation (PSAM) has well documented merits as a fading countermeasure capable of improving bit error rate performance.

متن کاملOptimal 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...
