Improved Pilot-Aided Channel Estimation for MIMO-OFDM Fading Channels
An improved pilot-aided channel estimation scheme is proposed to enhance the channel estimation accuracy of multiple-input multiple-output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) fading channels. Based on the adaptive path number selection mechanism, the number of paths can be scalabl...

description | An improved pilot-aided channel estimation scheme is proposed to enhance the channel estimation accuracy of multiple-input multiple-output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) fading channels. Based on the adaptive path number selection mechanism, the number of paths can be scalable and adaptively changed with the characteristics of MIMO-OFDM fading channels. The fine channel estimation formulas for all data subcarriers are derived. The space-frequency block code-OFDM (SFBC-OFDM) system and a six-path fading channel model are considered as an example of the high mobility MIMO-OFDM wireless communications system. Through simulations it is shown that SFBC-OFDM system using the proposed approach can satisfy the performance requirements over frequency selective and frequency nonselective fast fading channels. |
