快时变OFDM系统中非采样间隔信道的信道估计

摘要：在快时变环境下的OFDM（orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,正交频分复用）系统中,针对非采样间隔信道CIR（channel impulse response,信道冲击响应）能量泄漏和ICI（inter-carrier interference,子载波间干扰）的问题,提出了一种基于分数抽头信道近似的复指数基扩展联合反馈离散傅里叶变换信道估计算法。该算法首先根据基于分数抽头信道近似的复指数基扩展模型计算信道参数,再根据该信道参数计算出快时变环境下OFDM系统的ICI系数,然后将初次消除ICI的信号作为反馈进行离散傅里叶变换,进一步消除噪声和ICI。该算法在一定程度上抑制了CIR能量泄漏,消除了ICI和噪声,有效地近似了实际信道。仿真结果表明,该算法在误比特率和信道均方误差方面均有明显提高。

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。     

Joint MAP channel estimation and data detection for OFDM in presence of phase noise from free running and phase locked loop oscillator

This paper addresses a computationally compact and statistically optimal joint Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) algorithm for channel estimation and data detection in the presence of Phase Noise (PHN) in iterative Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receivers used for high speed and high spectral efficient wireless communication systems. The MAP cost function for joint estimation and detection is derived and optimized further with the proposed cyclic gradient descent optimization algorithm. The proposed joint estimation and detection algorithm relaxes the restriction of small PHN assumptions and utilizes the prior statistical knowledge of PHN spectral components to produce a statistically optimal solution. The frequency-domain estimation of Channel Transfer Function (CTF) in frequency selective fading makes the method simpler, compared with the estimation of Channel Impulse Response (CIR) in the time domain. Two different time-varying PHN models, produced by Free Running Oscillator (FRO) and Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) oscillator, are presented and compared for performance difference with proposed OFDM receiver. Simulation results for joint MAP channel estimation are compared with Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB), and the simulation results for joint MAP data detection are compared with “NO PHN” performance to demonstrate that the proposed joint MAP estimation and detection algorithm achieve near-optimum performance even under multipath channel fading.

Efficient time domain threshold for sparse channel estimation in OFDM system

A novel efficient time domain threshold based sparse channel estimation technique is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed method aims to realize effective channel estimation without prior knowledge of channel statistics and noise standard deviation within a comparatively wide range of sparsity. Firstly, classical least squares (LS) method is used to get an initial channel impulse response (CIR) estimate. Then, an effective threshold, estimated from the noise coefficients of the initial estimated CIR, is proposed. Finally, the obtained threshold is used to select the most significant taps. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method achieves better performance in both BER (bit error rate) and NMSE (normalized mean square error) than the compared methods has good spectral efficiency and moderate computational complexity.

Channel impulse response （CIR） can be estimated on the basis of cyclic correlation in time-domain for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） systems, This article proposes a generalized channel estimation method to reduce the estimation error by taking the average of different CIRs. Channel impulse responses are derived according to the different starting points of cyclic correlation. In addition, an effective CIR length estimation algorithm is also presented. The whole proposed methods are more effective to OFDM systems, especialiy to those with longer cyclic prefix. The analysis and the simulation results verify that the mean square error performance is 4-5 dB better than the conventional schemes under the same conditions.
