OFDM channel estimation with dispersive fading channels

In this paper, we studied the channel estimation problem for the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system when the statistics of the multi-path fading channel is not known or partial known. A channel estimation approach based on polynomial approximation of the channel response is proposed. The pilot symbols are periodically inserted the channel responses for entire OFDM data sequence for exploiting channel correlation in both time and frequency domain, which is obtained from a time-variant frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel model. Simulation shows that the method is robust to different channel statistics. Moreover, a window dimension adaptation algorithm is proposed to adapt the channel estimator to the channel statistics which further improves the robustness of the system.     

Artificial Neural Network Channel Estimation Based on Levenberg-Marquardt for OFDM Systems

The many advantages responsible for the widespread application of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are limited by the multipath fading. In OFDM systems, channel estimation is carried out by transmitting pilot symbols generally. In this paper, we propose an artificial neural network (ANN) channel estimation technique based on levenberg-marquardt training algorithm as an alternative to pilot based channel estimation technique for OFDM systems over Rayleigh fading channels. In proposed technique, there are no pilot symbols which added to OFDM. Therefore, this technique is more bandwidth efficient compared to pilot-based channel estimation techniques. Also, this technique is making full use of the learning property of neural network. By using this feature, there is no need of any matrix computation and the proposed technique is less complex than the pilot based techniques. Simulation results show that ANN based channel estimator gives better results compared to the pilot based channel estimator for OFDM systems over Rayleigh fading channel.     

Downlink transmission of broadband OFCDM Systems-part II: effect of Doppler shift

The orthogonal frequency and code division multiplexing (OFCDM) system with 2-D spreading (time- and frequency-domain spreading) is becoming a promising candidate for future broadband wireless communication systems. OFCDM is more attractive than orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) both by introducing frequency-domain spreading for frequency diversity provision and time-domain spreading for flexible data rate provision. To provide high-speed mobile services, multicode transmission is employed in conjunction with OFCDM. In a Gaussian or flat-fading channel, multicode channels are orthogonal. However, in a realistic wireless channel, the orthogonality no longer maintains. Thus, multicode interference (MCI) is caused. This paper focuses on the investigation of the effect of Doppler shift on the downlink transmission of high-speed mobile OFCDM systems. A practical channel estimation algorithm based on a code-multiplexed pilot channel is employed to track the variations of fading channels. Hybrid MCI cancellation and minimum mean-square error (MMSE) detection proposed by the authors is employed as an efficient way to eliminate the MCI in the frequency domain. The system performance is analytically studied with imperfect channel estimation to show how it is affected by parameters such as the window size in the channel estimation, Doppler shift, the number of stages of the hybrid detection, the power ratio of pilot to data channels, spreading factor, and so on.     

Theoretical studies and efficient algorithm of semi-blind ICI equalization for OFDM

The intercarrier interference (ICI) due to the Doppler frequency shift, sampling clock offset, time-varying multipath fading and local oscillator frequency offset becomes the major difficulty for the data transmission via the wireless orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The existing ICI mitigation schemes involve the frequency-domain channel estimation/equalization or the additional coding and therefore require the pilot symbols which reduce the throughput. The frequency-domain channel estimation/equalization relies on the huge matrix inversion with high computational complexity especially for the OFDM technologies possessing many subcarriers such as digital video broadcasting (DVB) systems and wireless metropolitan-area networks (WMAN). In our previous work, we proposed a semi-blind ICI equalization scheme using the joint multiple matrix diagonalization (JMMD) algorithm and empirically showed that the proposed method significantly improved the symbol error rates for QPSK- and 16QAM-OFDM systems. In this paper, we discuss the sufficient condition for the theoretical ICI equalizability and also propose an alternative semi-blind ICI equalization method based on the joint approximate diagonalization of eigen-matrices (JADE) algorithm, which is much more computationally efficient than our previous method.

A Robust SFO Estimation Scheme for OFDM-Based DRM with Non-Symmetric Distributed Pilots

This paper proposes a robust sampling frequency offset (SFO) estimation scheme in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based digital radio mondiale system with non-symmetrically distributed pilots. In particular, a post fast Fourier transform SFO estimation method is suggested to provide an unbiased estimate of SFO in the presence of frequency selectivity of the channel as well as non-symmetrically distribution of pilot symbols. In order to verify the performance of the proposed frequency-offset estimation scheme, a closed-form expression for the mean square error (MSE) is derived. We show via simulations that the proposed estimation scheme achieves a remarkable robustness against frequency selectivity fading and the theoretical MSE analysis is proven accurate.

Novel Digital Cancelation Method in Presence of Harmonic Self‐Interference

In‐band full‐duplex (IFD) communication has recently attracted a great deal of interest because it potentially provides a two‐fold spectral efficiency increase over half‐duplex communications. In this paper, we propose a novel digital self‐interference cancelation (DSIC) algorithm for an IFD communication system in which two nodes exchange orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The proposed DSIC algorithm is based on the least‐squares estimation of a self‐interference (SI) channel with block processing of multiple OFDM symbols, in order to eliminate the fundamental and harmonic components of SI induced through the practical radio frequency devices of an IFD transceiver. In addition, the proposed DSIC algorithm adopts discrete Fourier transform processing of the estimated SI channel to further enhance its cancelation performance. We provide a minimum number of training symbols to estimate the SI channel effectively. The evaluation results show that our proposed DSIC algorithm outperforms a conventional algorithm.
