Abstract
The long term evolution (LTE) system is a high data rate transmission system. And the channel estimation is critical to it. In this paper, a novel channel estimator on the basis of Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) method is presented for LTE. It can mitigate the aliasing error caused by spectral leakage well and is applicable for non-integer sampled channel because DCT can reduce the high frequency component. Its performance is much better than LS method and close to LMMSE method, and the complexity is much simpler than LMMSE. The simulation results show that the DCT-based method is superior to the traditional channel estimation algorithm in the multi-path Rayleigh fading channel which is a available and effective channel estimation method.
