Abstract

A method for increasing performance of OFDM systems in multipath channels is proposed. The proposed method uses Kalman filter based channel estimator with block type pilot structure. Performance of the proposed method has been demonstrated for GSCM/EDGE channel models, typical for urban area and very small cells. The characteristics of the proposed algorithm are compared with other well-known methods. The impact of Doppler spread is considered. A computer simulation has been carried out to evaluate the required signal-to-noise ratio in case of fixed bit error probability. It is shown, that proposed method leads to lower bit error ratio for slow fading case, but its performance degrades with increasing Doppler frequency.
