Abstract
Frequency domain pilot multiplexing technique (FDPMT) has recently emerged as an appealing technique for channel estimation in single-carrier frequency domain equalization systems as it achieves high spectral efficiency at the expense of tiny signal distortion. In FDPMT, pilot positions are dynamically selected to achieve a relatively low level of signal distortion, rendering pilot position detection (PPD) indispensable at the receiver. In this letter, by exploiting both the prior known pilots and the statistical information of the data tones, we propose a novel PPD scheme based on the maximum-likelihood criterion. Simulation results show that our proposed PPD scheme significantly improves the PPD accuracy and outperforms the existing counterparts in terms of bit error rate.
