Abstract

The presence of null subcarriers in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system complicates the design of both training preamble for channel estimation and pilot symbols for pilot-aided channel estimation that minimize the mean square error (MSE) of estimates of frequency-selective channels. In this paper, we numerically find optimal preambles, casting the MSE minimization problem into a semidefinite programming problem. Then, based on the optimal preamble, we also design pilot symbols for pilot-aided channel estimation. A design example under the same setting as IEEE 802.11a is provided to verify the efficacy of our proposal.
