Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 通訊工程研究所 === 95 === To deal with the channel estimation problem, the mobile orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system usually requires pilots to be inserted in transmitted signals in which the bandwidth efficiency is reduced. For the purpose of saving pilots, this paper studies a new least squares (LS) time-domain channel estimator using a decision-feedback loop. However, the drawback of the decision-feedback system is decision-error propagation. We propose error detectors for reducing the error probability and some compensation methods for enhancing channel estimation. In simulation results, the performances of the proposed decision-error detectors and compensation methods are compared. We show that the acceptable bit error rate can be achieved without pilots used for channel tracking and thus, the loss of bandwidth efficiency due to pilots is significantly reduced.
