Abstract

A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system combined with the orthogonal frequency partition multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique can achieve reliable high data rate show over broadband wireless channels. Channel state information for both single-input single-output (SISO) and MIMO systems based on pilot aided arrangement is investigated in this paper. The estimate of channel at pilot frequencies with conventional Least Square (LS) and Minimum Mean Square (MMSE) estimation algorithms is carried out through Matlab simulation. For outdoor communicationscenarios, where wireless channels are sparse in nature, pathinterruptions of different transmit-receive antenna couples share a jointsparse decoration due to the spatial correlation of MIMO channels.By simultaneously exploiting those MIMOchannel characteristics, the proposed scheme performs better thanpresent state-of-the-art systems. Furthermore, by joint processingof signals associated with different antennas, the pilot overheadcan be reduced the performance of MIMO OFDM and SISO OFDM are assessed on the basis of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Mean Square Error (MSE) level. Further enhancement of presentation can be attained through maximum diversity Space Time Block Coding and Maximum Likelihood Detection at transmission and reception ends respectively. MMSE estimation has been shown to perform much better than LS but is more complex than LS for the MIMO system using pilot carriers.
