Effect of imperfect channel estimation on transmit diversity in CDMA systems

In this paper, the effect of imperfect channel estimation on the transmit diversity based on space-time block coding for the downlink of a direct-sequence code-division multiple-access system is studied. Two transmit antenna and one receiving antennas are employed. However, the results of this paper can be extended to the system with more receiving antennas. Each channel is modeled as frequency-selective Rayleigh fading and the pair of channels corresponding to two transmit antennas are mutually independent. Both spatial diversity gain and multipath diversity gain are obtained in the system. The system performance is evaluated in terms of bit-error rate under the perfect and imperfect channel estimation. A pilot-assisted channel-estimation scheme with one common spreading code sequence is exploited. It is shown that the inaccurate channel estimates suffering from multiple access and multipath interference significantly degrade the system performance and can be effectively improved by use of a simple low-pass filter. The investigation of the power ratio of pilot to data channels illustrates that the base station should dynamically adjust the transmit power of the pilot channel according to the varying system configurations in order to achieve the best performance.

The effects of channel-estimation errors on a space-time spreading CDMA system with dual transmit and dual receive diversity

The uplink of a space-time spreading code-division multiple-access system with dual transmit and dual receive antennas is analyzed with the effect of imperfect channel estimation. With the help of pilot signals, the Rayleigh multipath fading channel experienced by the transmitted signal is estimated by simple correlators, and subsequently used to coherently combine the multipath signals in a RAKE-like space-time combiner. As a system becomes more wideband, more multipaths are resolved, and the energy in each path is reduced. This reduction in signal strength causes increased estimation error and impacts the system performance. Through the derivation of the probability of error in a space-time spreading system with channel-estimation errors, this paper studies the tradeoff between diversity and estimation errors. It is shown that an optimal bandwidth exists and the optimal power allocation for the pilot signals is a function of the quality of the channel estimates.     

基于宽带突发单载波频域均衡传输的时域精细信道估计方法

单载波频域均衡(SC-FDE)是宽带无线通信系统中一种具有竞争力的解决方案,获得了广泛的关注和研究。SC-FDE方案不仅抗多径能力出色、复杂度低,且具有比正交频分复用(OFDM)信号更低的峰均比值。在突发SC- FDE系统中,接收机需要利用训练序列快速获取信道的特征信息,以避免解调性能损失。传统的基于训练序列的信道估计方法并不适合宽带猝发SC-FDE系统,难以兼顾估计准确性和复杂度。该文提出一种基于时域训练序列的精细信道估计方法。该方法利用时域PN序列得到信道参数的最大似然估计值,并利用信道稀疏的特征,根据信道噪声强度对信道估计值进行噪声抑制处理。仿真表明:与传统信道估计方法相比,该信道估计方法能取得更高的估计精度,且具有较低的实现复杂度。     

Effect of channel-estimation error on QAM systems with antenna diversity

This paper studies the effect of channel estimation error and antenna diversity on multilevel quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) systems over Rayleigh fading channels. Based on the characteristic function method, a general closed-form bit-error rate (BER) for M-QAM systems is presented. The effect of the inaccurate channel estimation on the performance for pilot-symbol-assisted modulation M-QAM systems with antenna diversity is investigated. Simulation results for M-QAM (M = 4, 16, 64, 256, etc.) show that the analytical method can accurately estimate the system performance. Moreover, numerical results show that with the antenna-diversity technique, the BER performance improves significantly, especially in perfect channel-estimation cases. It is also found that the channel-estimation error limits the benefit of antenna diversity. By increasing the length of the channel estimator and the amplitude of the pilot symbol, more accurate channel estimation can be achieved, so that the BER performance is improved.     

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.

Iterative vector channel estimation/MAP/PIC for CDMA systems in time-selective correlated multipath fading channels

Recently, Gao et al. proposed the expectation-maximization (EM) vector channel estimation for single-user direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems to estimate the correlated fading channel coefficients of the paths of a user. They also used one D-lag decision-feedback maximum a posteriori (MAP) detector to detect the information bits. A straightforward extension (noniterative) to multiuser synchronous CDMA cases, i.e., adding the parallel interference cancellation (PIC) multiuser detector into their scheme, results in poor performance. Therefore, we propose an iterative scheme which combines vector channel estimation, decision-feedback MAP detection, and PIC. The partial PIC is applied in the sequence hypothesis stage of MAP in each iteration before the final MAP decision. The proposed scheme has twice the decision delay of the previous scheme for single-user cases. The performance of the proposed system in the time-selective, correlated multipath fading channel environment is investigated. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the noniterative scheme. Simulation results also show that the proposed scheme performs better than its scalar channel-estimation version.     

Joint estimation of carrier frequency offset and statistical parameters of the multipath fading channel

In this paper, we focus on the joint estimation of the carrier frequency offset and statistical parameters of the multipath mobile channel. By modeling the multipath fading channel with a complex bandpass autoregressive (AR) model, we show how the estimates for the frequency offset, Doppler spread, and power profile of the multipath channel can be extracted from the estimated complex AR coefficients obtained via the expectation-maximization algorithm. A main advantage of the proposed joint estimator is that while it has a capability of performing equally well in all scattering environments, it can provide accurate estimates even in high-mobility channel conditions. We also demonstrate how the complexity of the estimator can be significantly reduced, while only slightly trading off performance, by applying the mean field approximation technique. Moreover, we derive a fully adaptive joint synchronization and channel-estimation scheme, as well as a novel Kalman-smoother-based frequency-error detector that can be used in feedback frequency-recovery schemes and is particularly well suited for fast-fading channel conditions. Finally, we revisit the Cramer-Rao lower bound analysis, and show how the Fisher information matrix can be conveniently computed in the presence of a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel.
