基于压缩感知的MIMO-OFDM无线通信信道估计技术研究

对于通信系统而言,掌握信道状态信息是关键,所以需进行信道估计。传统信道估计的主要方法为最小二乘法(Least Square,LS),但由于未充分考虑信道稀疏性,因此在估计中需放置大量导频,从而导致频带资源效率降低。当前,数据信息趋向海量的背景下,海量信息的传输给通信系统带来了严重的负担。压缩感知技术作为一种打破奈奎斯特采样理论的重要技术,能够在欠采样的状态下实现对信号的采取,依托稀疏重建算法实现数据信息的有效重构。基于此,依托压缩感知技术,采用少量的导频来估计信道状态信息,从而提升频带资源效率。

An enhanced iterative joint channel estimation and symbol detection algorithm for OFDM systems

For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication, the system throughput and data rate are usually limited by pilots, especially in a high mobility environment. In this paper, an enhanced iterative joint channel estimation and symbol detection algorithm is proposed to enhance the system throughput and data rate. With lower pilot power, the proposed scheme increases system throughput firstly, and then the channel estimation and symbol detection proceed iteratively within one OFDM symbol to improve the BER performance. In the proposed algorithm, the original channel estimate of each OFDM symbol is based on the channel estimate of the previous OFDM symbol, thus the variation of the mobile channel is traced efficiently, so the number of pilots in the time domain can be reduced greatly. Besides reducing the system overhead, the proposed algorithm is also shown by simulation to give much better BER performance than the conventional iterative algorithm does.

CRAM(?)R-RAO BOUND FOR BLIND CHANNEL ESTIMATION IN COMPLEX-VALUED CHANNEL

Compared with the traditional channel estimation methods, blind channel estimation methods can increase the bandwidth efficiency of the systems, but their precision is low and they converge slowly. In this paper, the Cramér-Rao Bound （CRB） for blind channel estimation in complex-valued Single-Input Multiple- Output （SIMO） channel is derived. In the simulations, the correctness of the CRB is validated and some channel estimation methods are evaluated by using the CRB.

OFDM System Channel Estimation with Hidden Pilot

Channel estimation using pilot is common used in OFDM system.The pilot is usually time division multiplexed with the informative sequence.One of the main drawbacks is bandwidth losing.In this paper,a new method was proposed to perform channel estimation in OFDM system.The pilot is arithmetically added to the output of OFDM modulator.Receiver uses the hidden pilot to get an accurate estimation of the channel.Then pilot is removed after channel estimation.The Cramer-Rao lower bound for this method was deprived.The performance of the algorithm is then shown.Compared with traditional methods,the proposed algorithm increases the bandwidth efficiency dramatically.

Synchronization and channel estimation for MIMO OFDM wireless LAN systems

A new preamble structure is designed for wireless LAN based on MIMO OFDM systems, which can be used for both synchronization and channel estimation. Modulatable orthogonal polyphase sequence is utilized in training symbol design regarding its correlation properties. The time synchronization and channel estimation are achieved by measuring the correlation between the received training sequence and the locally generated training sequence. Repeated training symbols are used to get carrier frequency offset （CFO） estimation. It is shown from the analysis that the accuracy of frequency synchronization is close to the Cramer-Rao lower bound. The training sequences are optimal for channel estimation based on the minimum mean square error （MMSE）.

A NOVEL LINK ADAPTATION SCHEME TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE OF IEEE 802.11G WIRELESS LAN

A novel link adaptation scheme using linear Auto Regressive （AR） model channel estimation algorithm to enhance the performance of auto rate selection mechanism in IEEE 802.11g is proposed. This scheme can overcome the low efficiency caused by time interval between the time when Received Signal Strength （RSS） is measured and the time when rate is selected. The best rate is selected based on data payload length, frame retry count and the estimated RSS, which is estimated from recorded RSSs. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme enhances mean throughput performance up to 7%, in saturation state, and up to 24% in finite load state compared with those non-estimation schemes, performance enhancements in average drop rate and average number of transmission attempts per data frame delivery also validate the effectiveness of the proposed schelne.

Semi-Blind Pilot-Aided Channel Estimation in Uplink Cloud Radio Access Networks

In this paper, a quasi-Newton method fbr semi-blind estimation is derived for channel estimation in uplink cloud radio access networks （C-RANs）. Different from traditional pilot-aided estimation, semiblind estimation utilizes the unknown data symbols in addition to the known pilot symbols to estimate the channel. An initial channel state information （CSI） obtained by least-squared （LS） estimation is needed in semi-blind estimation. BFGS （Brayben, Fletcher, Goldfarb and Shanno） algorithm, which employs data as well as pilot symbols, estimates the CSI though solving the problem provided by maximum-likelihood （ML） principle. In addition, mean-square-error （MSE） used to evaluate the estimation performance can be further minimized with an optimal pilot design. Simulation results show that the semi-blind estimation achieves a significant improvement in terms of MSE performance over the conventional LS estimation by utilizing data symbols instead of increasing the number of pilot symbols, which demonstrates the estimation accuracy and spectral efficiency are both improved by semiblind estimation for C-RANs.

CLOSED-FORM ERROR RATES OF STBC SYSTEMS AND ITS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

The closed-form solutions for error rates of Space-Time Block Code (STBC) Multiple Phase Shift Keying (MPSK) systems are derived in this paper. With characteristic function based method and the partial integration based respectively, the exact expressions of error rates are obtained for (2,1) STBC with and without channel estimation error. Simulations show that the practical error rates accord with the theoretical ones, so closed-form error rates are accurate references for STBC performance evaluation. For the error of pilot assisted channel estimation, the performance of a (2,1) STBC system is deteriorated about 3dB.

Maximum likelihood channel estimation algorithm combines logarithm likelihood ratio decoding in the coal mine application

The environment of the wireless communication system in the coal mine has unique characteristics： great noise, strong multiple path interference, and the wireless communication of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） in underground coal mine is sensitive to the frequency selection of multiple path fading channel, whose decoding is separated from the traditional channel estimation algorithm. In order to increase its accuracy and reliability, a new iterating channel estimation algorithm combining the logarithm likelihood ratio （LLR） decode iterate based on the maximum likelihood estimation （ML） is proposed in this paper, which estimates iteration channel in combination with LLR decode. Without estimating the channel noise power, it exchanges the information between the ML channel estimation and the LLR decode using the feedback information of LLR decode. The decoding speed is very quick, and the satisfied result will be obtained by iterating in some time. The simulation results of the shortwave broadband channel in the coal mine show that the error rate of the system is basically convergent after the iteration in two times.
