Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) systems were specified by 3GPP in release 13 as a low power wide area network (LPWAN) technology to operate with a very narrow bandwidth of 180 kHz only. Due to fragile radio signal operating conditions (where a signal is weaker than noise), NB-IoT channel status becomes highly complex. Therefore, an effective and low complexity channel estimation will perform a significant role in the receiver operation. The linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) scheme is very effective in estimating the channel but introduces massive complexity because of having complex matrix inversion. In this paper, we first derive the analytical model of the signal for long-term evolution (LTE)-based NB-IoT downlink systems and propose a reduced complexity LMMSE channel estimation for the downlink NB-IoT systems by applying singular value decomposition (SVD) technique along with partitioning the whole channel matrix into small submatrices. Furthermore, we apply the overlap banded technique to optimize the performance of the proposed channel estimator. As a result of exploiting several submatrices instead of a larger channel matrix, the operational complexity is significantly optimized. Lastly, we propose a polyphase filter structure for implementing the interpolation procedure instead of the conventional interpolation method to further optimize the performance and complexity of the proposed channel estimator further. The performance of the proposed technique has been justified by the mean square error (MSE), bit error rate (BER), and instantaneous throughput for the related signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The system complexity is verified by the number of complex multiplications used. Simulation evaluations indicate that with the sacrifice of negligible performance, the proposed modified LMMSE technique along with the proposed interpolation possesses a good balance between the performance and the system complexity that could help the proposed techniques to be applied successfully in the low complexity NB-IoT systems.

In wireless communication, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) plays a major role because of its high transmission rate. Channel estimation and tracking have many different techniques available in OFDM systems. Among them, the most important techniques are least square (LS) and minimum mean square error (MMSE). In least square channel estimation method, the process is simple but the major drawback is it has very high mean square error. Whereas, the performance of MMSE is superior to LS in low SNR, its main problem is it has high computational complexity. If the error is reduced to a very low value, then an exact signal will be received. In this paper an extensive review on different channel estimation methods used in MIMO-OFDM like pilot based, least square (LS) and minimum mean square error method (MMSE) and least minimum mean square error (LMMSE) methods and also other channel estimation methods used in MIMO-OFDM are discussed.

There are no limit of human desire, so day by day we need much higher data speed to facilitate our need but every physical resource like frequency band, transmit signal strength are finite. Within the given limited resource, higher data speed is accomplished by new proficiency called Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system. MIMO-OFDM fulfills the high data rate requirement through spatial multiplexing gain and improved link reliability due to antenna diversity gain. With this technique, both interference reduction and maximum diversity gain are achieved by increasing number of antennae on either side. Received signal in MIMO-OFDM system is usually distorted by multipath fading. In order to recover the transmitted signal correctly, channel effect must be estimated and repaired at receiver. In this paper the performance evaluating parameter mean square error and symbol error rate of least square error, minimum mean square error and DFT based channel estimation methods are estimated and appropriate solution is recommended. Furthermore, comparison among their characteristics is simulated in MATLAB and useful conclusion is delineated.

Channel estimation is considered as an important phase in Multiple Input Multiple Output – Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) networks which can enhances the performance significantly. Channel estimation widely classified as pilot based, blind and semi-blind channel estimation. The pilot-based channel estimation decreases the data transmission rate and spectral efficiency. To overcome these issues of existing schemes, we present a novel blind channel estimation technique. According to proposed scheme, we transmit the data in a block-wise manner. The proposed scheme uses precoding technique to establish the correlation between these blocks. Further, we use channel correlation to solve the diagonal uncertainty of correlation matrix which helps to improve the system performance. We present a comparative analysis study which shows that proposed approach can achieve better performance in terms of Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE) and Mean Square Error (MSE) when compared with existing techniques.

Inverse Operation

Channel estimation is an important module for improving the performance of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. The pilot-based least square (LS) algorithm can improve the channel estimation accuracy and the symbol error rate (SER) performance of the communication system. In pilot-based channel estimation, a certain number of pilots are inserted at fixed intervals between OFDM symbols to estimate the initial channel information, and channel estimation results can be obtained by one-dimensional linear interpolation. The minimum mean square error (MMSE) and linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) algorithms involve the inverse operation of the channel matrix. If the number of subcarriers increases, the dimension of the matrix becomes large. Therefore, the inverse operation is more complex. To overcome the disadvantages of the conventional channel estimation methods, this paper proposes a novel OFDM channel estimation method based on statistical frames and the confidence level. The noise variance in the estimated channel impulse response (CIR) can be largely reduced under statistical frames and the confidence level; therefore, it reduces the computational complexity and improves the accuracy of channel estimation. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed channel estimation method based on the confidence level in time-varying dynamic wireless channels.

Value Decomposition

We introduced an improved singular value decomposition (SVD) channel estimation algorithm for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The algorithm is supposed to solve the issue that the channel estimation result is not accurate when the training sequences have some 0 elements. The improvement is also applicable in the other channel estimation algorithms. We made some comparisons between the linear least squares (LS) and the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimation, the traditional singular value decomposition and the improved SVD algorithm to demonstrate the efficiency. Results show that the proposed improved SVD algorithm has better performance in mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) of channel estimation and the estimated values approach the actual channel state.
