摘要
Multiple-input-multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （MIMO-OFDM） systems promise to provide significant increase in system capacity for future wireless communication systems. The channel state information is required to achieve the high capacity of an MIMO-OFDM system. In this pa-per, an improved channel estimation scheme is proposed for MIMO-OFDM system by making full use of the training sequence and CP （cyclic prefix）. The method improves the performance of the channel esti-mator because of using the redundant information in CP. Also, the theoretical mean square error （MSE） bound of the improved estimator is derived. The effectivity of the algorithm is demonstrated by the simula-tion results of MIMO-OFDM systems with two transmit and two receive antennas. The MSE gain is en-hanced by about 1dB.
