Abstract
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a widely adopted system for broadband wireless transmission, However, time-varying channels degrade the performance owing to the intercarrier interference (ICI). This study discusses the performance enhancement problems of channel estimation and signal detection in view of fast time-varying multipath fading channel characteristics of high mobility. A two-stage method is presented. In the coarse stage, initial channel estimation is performed using the signals at pilot subcarriers based on least-square (LS) estimate is performed. However, the initial estimate still needs to be improved because of the data-induced ICI. The coarse stage improves estimate accuracy by compensating the interferences. The refining stage, applies interference compensation and q-banded successive interference suppression (qSIS) methods to enhance the detection and re-estimate accuracy. Based on robustness, the detected data are called the “pseudo-pilots”, which together with the pilots are treated as a “visual-training” (VT) to improve channel re-estimation. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method is more robust than the traditional method in fast time-varying multipath fading channels with lower computational complexity. The proposed method is independent of the delay and fading properties of the channel.
