Abstract

In this letter, we focus on rearranged pilot patterns for channel estimation in a mobile communication system using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The conventional pilot patterns for channel estimation in OFDM systems do not have robust characteristics in time-varying channels. In order to overcome this weakness of the conventional pilot patterns, we propose the pilot patterns with robust mobility for OFDM systems, which can achieve a good error performance in time-varying multi-path fading channels. Simulation results show that the bit error rate (BER) performances of the proposed pilot patterns are better than those of the conventional pilot patterns in fast time-varying fading channels under the same pilot density and data rate.
