Abstract

This paper considers a novel virtual pilot-assisted channel estimation algorithm for multiple input multiple output single carrier frequency domain equalization (MIMO-SCFDE) systems over fast time-varying multipath channels. Given that the fast time-varying channels can no longer support the assumption that the channel frequency-domain response remains invariant for the duration of one SC-FDE symbol, most of the channel estimation methods cannot be directly applied to MIMO-SCFDE systems. We put forward an iterative interfrequency interference cancellation method for the time-varying multipath channels over one SC-FDE symbol. The proposed method utilizes the virtual pilot-assisted channel estimation and partial minimum-mean-square-error equalization to improve the accuracy of the estimation. Simulation results validate the improved performance of the proposed method for MIMO-SCFDE systems over fast time-varying multipath channels.
