Truncation Threshold

International audience OFDM based pilots channel estimation methods with processing into the transform domain appear attractive owing to their capacity to highly reduce the noise component effect. However, in current OFDM systems, null subcarriers are placed at the edge of the spectrum in order to assure isolation from interfering signals in neighboring frequency bands; and the presence of these null carriers may lead, if not taken into account, to serious degradation of the estimated channel responses due to the “border effect” phenomenon. In this paper an improved algorithm based on truncated SVD is proposed in order to correctly support the case of null carriers at border spectrum. A method for optimizing the truncation threshold whatever the system parameters is also proposed. To make the truncated SVD channel estimation method applicable to any SISO or MIMO OFDM system and whatever the system parameters, a complexity reduction algorithm based on the distribution of the power in the transfer matrix (based on DFT or DCT) is proposed. Les techniques d’estimation de canal, basée sur des symboles pilotes, par passage dansun domaine de tranfert sont très attractives pour les systèmes de télécommunications utilisant l’OFDM.Cependant, elles montrent des limites pour les systèmes de télécommunications, où un ensemble desous-porteuses de garde, est inséré sur les bords du spectre dans le but d’éviter tout recouvrementspectral avec d’autres applications utilisant des bandes voisines. Ces sous-porteuses de gardeont selon leur nombre tendance à dégrader fortement les performances de ces estimateurs. Nousproposons, dans un premier temps, une optimisation qui permet d’améliorer considérablement lesperformances de ces estimateurs quels que soit le nombre de porteuses de garde. Dans un secondtemps, pour de rendre l’estimateur proposé attractif pour les constructeurs, nous avons proposé unetechnique permettant de réduire leur complexité de réalisation de manière notable.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems have inherent symmetric properties, such as coding and decoding, constellation mapping and demapping, inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) and fast Fourier transform (FFT) operations corresponding to multi-carrier modulation and demodulation, and channel estimation is a necessary module to resist channel fading in the OFDM system. However, the noise in the channel will significantly affect the accuracy of channel estimation, which further affects the recovery quality of the final received signals. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient noise suppression channel estimation method for OFDM systems based on adaptive weighted averaging. The basic idea of the proposed method is averaging the last few channel coefficients obtained from coarse estimation to suppress the noise effect, while the average frame number is adaptively adjusted by combining Doppler spread and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) information. Meanwhile, to better combat the negative effect brought by Doppler spread and inter-carrier interference (ICI), the proposed method introduces a weighting factor to correct the weighted value of each frame in the averaging process. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation method is effective and provides better performance compared with other conventional channel estimation methods.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the effective techniques used in wireless communications. In OFDM systems, channel impairments due to multipath dispersive wireless channels can cause deep fades in wireless channels. The OFDM receiver also requires an accurate and computationally efficient channel state information when coherent detection is involved. Therefore, it needs a good robust estimation method of the channel in wireless communication for OFDM systems. And one of these channel estimation methods is minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation. MMSE channel estimation one most used method in OFDM systems. In this work we enhanced robustness of MMSE channel estimation by using it in base of quasi-cyclic low density parity check (QC-LDPC) coded OFDM system.

Pilot Pattern

A low-complexity pilot pattern and a frequency-domain channel estimation method for Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) mitigation is proposed for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDM) systems. The proposed method exploits the band structure of the coupling matrix to perform an ICI-free channel estimation in the frequency domain. This ICI-free estimation relies on some conditions imposed over the pilot pattern that simplify the complexity of channel estimation significantly, since its complexity is the same as classical least squares (LS) channel estimation used in low mobility scenarios. Then, the ICI is removed by using a modified version of Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalization, which reduces the computational complexity considerably. This modified MMSE equalization relies on the sparse and banded structure of the coupling matrix and on a low complexity variant of the Cholesky decomposition, which is named LDLH factorization. It is shown that the proposed method greatly improves the Bit Error Rate (BER) in the high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) regime.
