一种基于基扩展模型的OFDM频域快时变信道估计方法

现有的OFDM系统快时变信道估计方法均为时域估计方法,假定信道为整数倍采样信道,利用理想的等间隔均匀导频恢复信道时域响应函数,进而采用基扩展模型拟合并估计其时变特性。而实际的信道通常为非整数倍采样信道,频带内可用的导频也并非假定的理想模式。此时,恢复的信道时域响应出现能量泄漏,导致算法性能大大受限。本文提出一种频域快时变信道估计方法,利用信道频域时变传输函数辅助估计,从而估计得到信道频域响应矩阵。该方法在频域实现,性能不受信道时域响应能量泄露影响。仿真实验从误码率、均方误差两方面分别验证了该方法的有效性。

Channel estimation based on learning automata for OFDM systems

The abundant benefits of Orthogonal Frequency‐Division Multiplexing and its high flexibility have resulted in its widespread applications in many telecommunication standards. One important parameter for improving wireless system's efficiency is the accurate estimation of channel state information. In the literatures, many techniques have been studied in order to estimate the channel state information. Nowadays, the techniques based on intelligent algorithms such as genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization (PSO) have attracted attention of researchers. With a very low pilot overhead, these techniques are able to estimate the channel frequency response properly only using the received signals. Unfortunately, each of these techniques suffers a common weakness: they have a slow convergence rate. In this paper, a new intelligent and different method has been presented for channel estimation using learning automata, entitled LA estimator, where the learning automata are search agents, and each pair is responsible for searching 1 complex coefficient of the channel frequency response. This method can achieve an accurate channel estimation with a moderate computational complexity in comparison with GA and PSO estimators. Furthermore, with higher convergence rate, our proposed method is capable of providing the same performance as GA and PSO. For a 2‐path fast fading channel, simulation results demonstrate the robustness of our proposed scheme according to the bit error rate and the mean square error.     

Channel estimation for OFDM systems with transmitter diversity inmobile wireless channels

Transmitter diversity is an effective technique to improve wireless communication performance. In this paper, we investigate transmitter diversity using space-time coding for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in high-speed wireless data applications. We develop channel parameter estimation approaches, which are crucial for the decoding of the space-time codes, and we derive the MSE bounds of the estimators. The overall receiver performance using such a transmitter diversity scheme is demonstrated by extensive computer simulations. For an OFDM system with two transmitter antennas and two receiver antennas with transmission efficiency as high as 1.475 bits/s/Hz, the required signal-to-noise ratio is only about 7 dB for a 1% bit error rate and 9 dB for a 10% word error rate assuming channels with two-ray, typical urban, and hilly terrain delay profiles, and a 40-Hz Doppler frequency. In summary, with the proposed channel estimator, combining OPDM with transmitter diversity using space-time coding is a promising technique for highly efficient data transmission over mobile wireless channels     

OFDM系统中基于压缩传感理论的信道估计算法

信道估计是OFDM系统中的一项关键技术,信道估计质量的好坏对整个系统的性能有重要的影响。传统的最小均方算法对稀疏信道进行估计时存在精确性差的缺陷。本文利用信道冲激响应的稀疏性,提出了一种基于近似l₀范数的信道估计算法。该算法用三种函数逼近l₀范数,应用梯度下降法和梯度投影算法获得代价函数的最优解,从而得到信道的最稀疏解。仿真实验结果表明:在相同条件下,与基于l₁范数的信道估计算法比较,本文算法的收敛速度快,估计值信噪比高,且均方误差小。

Estimation of time-varying channels for pilot-assisted OFDM systems

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems encounter performance degradations because of the time-varying (TV) channels common in wireless environments. The channel variations within one OFDM symbol introduce intercarrier interference. In this case, the frequency domain channel matrix is no longer diagonal, hence the corresponding channel estimation is challenging. In this article, two novel TV channel estimation approaches are proposed for the pilot-assisted OFDM systems, where the channel is approximated by the high-order linear model or the piece-wise linear model in time domain. The least square estimation is derived for the two kinds of channel approximations. The simulation is performed based on realistic TV channels with a fairly high Doppler spread. The results show the significant decreasing of the estimation mean square error using the proposed approaches.     

Channel estimation techniques based on pilot arrangement in OFDM systems

Channel estimation techniques for OFDM systems based on a pilot arrangement are investigated. Channel estimation based on a comb type pilot arrangement is studied through different algorithms for both estimating the channel at pilot frequencies and interpolating the channel. Channel estimation at pilot frequencies is based on LS and LMS methods while channel interpolation is done using linear interpolation, second order interpolation, low-pass interpolation, spline cubic interpolation, and time domain interpolation. Time-domain interpolation is obtained by passing to the time domain by means of IDFT (inverse discrete Fourier transform), zero padding and going back to the frequency domain by DFT (discrete Fourier transform). In addition, channel estimation based on a block type pilot arrangement is performed by sending pilots in every sub-channel and using this estimation for a specific number of following symbols. We have also implemented a decision feedback equalizer for all sub-channels followed by periodic block-type pilots. We have compared the performances of all schemes by measuring bit error rates with 16QAM, QPSK, DQPSK and BPSK as modulation schemes, and multipath Rayleigh fading and AR based fading channels as channel models.     

Pilot-assisted channel estimation method for OFDMA systems over time-varying channels

Conventional time-varying (TV) channel estimation (CE) methods for OFDM systems need optimal evenly spaced pilots to track channel time variations in one symbol period and the inter-carrier interference (ICI) on pilots caused by Doppler spread are regarded as noise. For practical OFDMA systems, the required evenly spaced pilots are unsatisfied and the ICI on pilots increase estimation errors. In this letter, a TV CE method for practical OFDMA systems is proposed. The time variations of the frequency domain transmission function in one symbol period are approximated by a linear model in time-frequency blocks for each user. Time domain transformations are avoided and evenly spaced pilots are not required. Furthermore, the ICI on pilots are mitigated by correlative coding. Simulation results demonstrate the Symbol-Error-Rate (SER) and Mean-Square- Error (MSE) performances of the proposed OFDMA CE method over TV channels.
