Impact of channel estimation errors on the performance of linear FIR equalizers for frequency selective MIMO channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Receivers require channel state information (CSI) to be able to detect the transmitted information. Therefore the channel has to be estimated. This imperfect channel knowledge results in an extra noise term at the receiver side. In this paper, the influence of a Gaussian channel estimation error on the performance of a linear Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) Finite Impulse Response (FIR) equalizer is investigated. The BER degradation is calculated as a function of the variance of this Gaussian error. The performance of a pilot aided Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator is also investigated based on the results for Gaussian errors.

FIR channel-shortening equalizers for MIMO ISI channels
Finite-length delay-optimized multi-input multi-output (MIMO) equalizers that optimally shorten the impulse response memory of frequency-selective MIMO channels are derived. The MIMO equalizers are designed to minimize the average energy of the error sequence between the equalized MIMO channel impulse response and an MIMO target impulse response (TIR) with shorter memory. Two criteria for optim...

In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

In this paper we have studied channel models (flat fading and frequency selective fading channels) estimation, adaptive equalization, and demodulation. The technique involves the optimization of the overall impulse response of the transmit and receive filters and effectively reduces the channel to one which is flat fading. This example showed the relative performance of linear and decision feed...

In this paper, we address the problems of precoding and equalization in frequency-selective MIMO channels by channel inversion. The channel is assumed to be stable and causal. As our main result, we give a closed form expression for a linear precoder which is stable and causal as well as timeinvariant. In particular, our solution further is optimal in terms of robustness and not restricted to f...

We address MIMO systems in the presence of frequency selective fading. We first describe our channel model, then we derive capacity formula, and finally we develop a linear coding procedure for the obtained channel model. Starting from a physical mobile channel model with known scatterer geometry, we develop a MIMO FIR channel model. Our channel model results in stationary, ergodic vector proce...
