Abstract

Many applications of OFDM systems require Doppler spread estimation. This is quite difficult in multi-path fading channels with no strong direct path. This letter proposes a novel Doppler spread estimation method, which uses the mean square (MS) value of channel impulse response's time derivative. The proposed method is very simple compared with the previously proposed methods. Simulation results show that it allows easy and precise Doppler spread calculation for OFDM by using the channel estimation based on either pilot tones or pilot symbols.
