Channel estimation in two dimensions for OFDM systems with multiple transmit antennas

چکیده

We address pilot-symbol aided channel estimation (PACE) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based systems, employing multiple transmit antennas. A novel approach is presented which estimates and separates NT superimposed signals, corresponding to NT transmit antennas, by exploiting the correlation in two dimensions of the received signal. More specifically, we apply the concept of using two one dimensional (1D) estimators instead of a truly two dimensional (2D) estimator, by dividing the estimation as well as the separation task into two stages. The first stage separates a subset of the NT superimposed signals, together with estimating the channel response in the first dimension. The second stage further separates the signals of each subset in the second dimension, yielding an estimate for all transmit antennas. For a space-time block coded OFDM system we demonstrate that the proposed estimator can track the channel variations even at high Doppler frequencies.

Channel Estimation for OFDM Systems with Multiple Transmit Antennas by Filtering in Time and Frequency

We address pilot-symbol aided channel estimation (PACE) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based systems, with multiple transmit antennas. An approach is presented which estimates and separates NT superimposed signals, corresponding to NT transmit antennas, in two dimensions. More specifically, we extend the concept of using two one dimensional (1D) estimators, instead of a t...

Simplified channel estimation for OFDM systems with multiple transmit antennas

Multiple transmit-and-receive antennas can be used in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems to improve communication quality and capacity. In this paper, we present two techniques to improve the performance and reduce the complexity of channel parameter estimation: optimum training-sequence design and simplified channel estimation. The optimal training sequences not only sim...

MIMO-OFDM for wireless communications: signal detection with enhanced channel estimation

Multiple transmit and receive antennas can be used to form multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels to increase the capacity by a factor of the minimum number of transmit and receive antennas. In this paper, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for MIMO channels (MIMO-OFDM) is considered for wideband transmission to mitigate intersymbol interference and enhance system capacit...
