Iterative Estimation and Equalization for SCCP Over Doubly Selective Channels

In time varying channels, symbol recovery for single carrier cyclic prefix (SCCP) systems becomes complicated, because the orthogonality of channel frequency response (CFR) matrix is destroyed. In response, we propose a block turbo equalization algorithm in the time domain for SCCP to cope with channel time variations. In particular, the band structure of the channel time response (CTR) matrix is exploited to reduce the computational complexity of matrix inversion. In order to use this equalization scheme, accurate channel state information (CSI) must be available. Accordingly, we present a doubly selective channel estimation method for SCCP block transmissions with the aid of a Karhunen-Loeve basis expansion model (KL-BEM). In this method, the channel estimates are firstly obtained by using the cyclic prefix (CP) of each block, and then further refined by employing an expectation maximization (EM) based iterative algorithm. Combining the iterative estimator with the proposed equalizer naturally results in a doubly iterative receiver, the performance of which is shown to come close to the performance with perfect CSI.     

Turbo Equalization with Prediction and Iterative Estimation of Time-Varying Frequency-Selective Channels

Turbo equalization that cooperates with channel prediction and iterative channel estimation is investigated for mobile wireless communications. Frames of information bits are encoded, interleaved, and mapped to symbols for transmission over time-varying frequency-selective fading channels. At the receiver, the Turbo equalizer consists of a maximum a posteriori probability equalizer/demapper and a soft-input soft-output maximum a posteriori probability decoder. With initial channel estimates and sparse pilot insertion across a number of frames, the receiver predicts the channel of the current frame. The effect of error propagation of channel prediction is mitigated by the de-interleaver that is embedded in the Turbo equalizer. The predicted and interpolated channel is refined through a channel estimator that uses the soft estimates of data symbols at each Turbo iteration. Due to the bandlimiting feature of channel variation, the channel estimation error can be smoothed by low-pass filters that follow the channel estimator. Simulation results show that incorporating Turbo equalization with channel prediction and iterative channel estimation can combat time- and frequency-selective fading and improve reception performance.

Improved Frequency Domain Channel Estimation and Equalization for MIMO Wireless Communications

This paper introduces an improved frequency domain channel estimation method based on interpolation vectors for single carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) with the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheme. The proposed algorithm is derived by employing the least squares (LS) criterion, and a specified application for the wide sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) Rayleigh fading channel is presented. The channel frequency domain responses estimated at two adjacent pilot blocks are used to track the time-variant channel information, which can effectively improve the accuracy of channel estimation without significantly increasing complexity. Maximum mean square error (MMSE) frequency domain equalization based on the estimated channel is employed in the receiver to recover transmitted signals. This paper also investigates a training sequence design method for multiple transmit antennas and a noise variance estimation method. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed methods can perform very well for fading channels with long multipath delay and high Doppler spread.

Vector Channel Estimation and Multiuser Detection for Multicarrier DS CDMA in Time and Frequency Selective Fading Channels

In a multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple access (MC DS CDMA) system, different fading channels for different users and/or different carriers are correlated in general; thus a vector channel model is more appropriate than disjoint scalar channel models. For multiuser MC DS CDMA systems, we propose (1) a generalized vector autoregressive model which accounts for correlation between different user/carrier fading channels, (2) the use of a two-phased algorithm to obtain the proposed model’s parameters, and (3) a receiver structure that consists of a generalized decorrelator followed by maximal-ratio combining (MRC) of uncorrelated carrier channel outputs of each user. The estimated fading coefficients provide the necessary quantities to MRC. The computer simulation results show that the proposed scheme has performance close to the case in which the channel is perfectly known, and outperforms separate scalar channel estimation case.

Iterative Joint Channel Estimation and Signal Detection for OFDM System in Double Selective Channels

Intercarrier interference caused by fast time-varying multipath fading channels degrades the system performance of high-mobility orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. This study considers the challenging problem of joint channel estimation and signal detection in high mobility environments. The estimation method is based on a pilot-aided linear approximation channel modeling and iterative process. After each iteration, the channel estimates are refined with the fed-back detection signal. The channel is re-estimated iteratively, detected increasingly reliable signals. The proposed method is independent of the Doppler-spectrum, delay-profile shape and the number of paths. Numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed method is highly robust to fast time-varying multipath fading channels.     

Iterative Channel Estimation and Successive ICI Cancellation for OFDM Systems over Doubly Selective Channels

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems, significant inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by doubly selective channels make challenge for reliable reception. In this paper, channel estimation and ICI cancellation are considered jointly. Relying on the basis expansion model (BEM) of time-varying channel, the linear system model of transceiver is established, and the corresponding joint optimization of the transmitted data and BEM coefficients is formulated. Due to the separability of the data and BEM coefficients, we use cyclic minimizing technique to perform channel estimation and equalization alternately. This yields a linear minimum mean square-error (LMMSE) channel estimator and a block MMSE equalizer respectively. The block MMSE equalizer has complexity O(N ³), where N is the number of data subcarriers. To reduce the complexity, instead of equalizing all the data simultaneously, we consider estimating each data symbol successively. This idea results in the per subcarrier interference canceller with lower complexity O(N ²). Finally, an iterative receiver consisting of the data-aided LMMSE channel estimator and the successive interference canceller is developed. Simulation results show the scheme is effective over the channel with relatively large Doppler spread.     

一种基于基扩展模型的OFDM频域快时变信道估计方法

现有的OFDM系统快时变信道估计方法均为时域估计方法,假定信道为整数倍采样信道,利用理想的等间隔均匀导频恢复信道时域响应函数,进而采用基扩展模型拟合并估计其时变特性。而实际的信道通常为非整数倍采样信道,频带内可用的导频也并非假定的理想模式。此时,恢复的信道时域响应出现能量泄漏,导致算法性能大大受限。本文提出一种频域快时变信道估计方法,利用信道频域时变传输函数辅助估计,从而估计得到信道频域响应矩阵。该方法在频域实现,性能不受信道时域响应能量泄露影响。仿真实验从误码率、均方误差两方面分别验证了该方法的有效性。

Time and Frequency Synchronization with Channel Estimation for SC-FDMA Systems Over Time-Varying Channels

The constant amplitude zero autocorrelation sequence based synchronization and its usage in the block-type channel estimation for the single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems are vulnerable to the time-varying channels. Therefore, the channel estimation errors limit the performance of SC-FDMA systems in fast fading environments and result an irreducible error floor. In this paper, cyclic prefix based maximum likelihood estimator of time/frequency synchronization with comb-type channel estimation for the SC-FDMA systems are proposed to track the channel variations. Moreover, the residual time/frequency offsets calculations are derived for SC-FDMA systems. Simulation results confirm and illustrate that the proposed receiver is capable of tracking fast fading channel parameters and improving the overall performance as compared with the conventional receiver.
