This work deals with the issue of channel estimation in the context of non-binary LDPC-coded
OFDM systems over doubly selective multipath channels. In particular, we show how to derive an
iterative Wiener-filter-based estimation method using both time and frequency channel correlation and
considering the particular characteristics of the channel code. The proposed algorithm can use either
soft information or hard decisions fed back by the decoder to refine the channel estimation, so as to
improve the system performance at the expense of an increased receiver complexity. Simulation results
under typical working conditions are presented to compare the performance of the proposed method
with respect to classical techniques.
