This paper addresses the pilot-aided multiuser least square (LS) channel estimation for the uplink of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The systems under consideration allow all users use all available subcarriers independently and thus involve multiuser interference in the frequency domain. Direct application of the known pilot-aided single-user channel estimation methods to these systems is prohibited, requiring much more new investigations. The decentralized and centralized channel estimation algorithms are developed according to different multiuser scenarios. Optimal multiuser pilots are proposed, especially for centralized estimation methods with respect to the mean square error (MSE) of LS channel estimate. In addition, channel tracking algorithms are represented in terms of individual user's channels.

A high transmission rate can be obtained using Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) model. The most commonly used 3D-pilot aided channel estimation (PACE) techniques are Least Square (LS) and Least Minimum Mean Square (LMMSE) error. Both of the methods suffer from high mean square error and computational complexity. The LS is quite simple and LMMSE being superior in performance to LS providing low Bit Error Rate (BER) at high Signal to Noise ratio (SNR). Artificial Intelligence when combined with these two methods produces remarkable results by reducing the error between transmission and reception of data signal. The essence of LS and LMMSE is used priory to estimate the channel parameters. The bit error so obtained is compared and the least bit error value is fine-tuned using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to obtained better channel parameters and improved BER. The channel parameter corresponding to the low value of bit error rate obtained from LS/LMMSE is also used for particle initialization. Thus, the particles advance from the obtained channel parameters and are processed to find a better solution against the lowest bit error value obtained by LS/LMMSE. If the particles fail to do so, then the bit error value obtained by LS/LMMSE is finally considered. It has emerged from the simulated results that the performance of the proposed system is better than the LS/LMMSE estimations. The performance of OFDM systems using proposed technique can be observed from the imitation and relative results.

An integration of Spatial Modulation with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (SM OFDM) is a recently evolved transmission technique. In practical scenarios, channel estimation is significant for detecting transmitted data coherently. Impulse response based interpolation technique that provides channel frequency response estimate with reduction in noise error is proposed for comb type pilot based channel estimation of SM OFDM system along with 1D interpolation techniques under frequency selective channel. This scheme focus on carrying out smoothing and estimation in time domain and transforming output back to the frequency domain. BER performance is investigated for Rayleigh channel employing COST 207 project model on two test urban environments (Typical and Bad) for 4 and 16 QAM SM OFDM systems. Results show that the Least Square estimator with DFT interpolation performs finer compared to all one dimensional interpolation methods with less computational complexity by employing FFT algorithms.
