Abstract:
Channel estimation based on superimposed pilot (SP) is a challenge in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. To reduce the pilot data interference in the SP and estimate the channel state information accurately, a weighted averaging (WA) channel estimation method based on the superimposed pilot is proposed in this paper. At the transmitter, two signals with data symbols and pilot symbols superimposed at different subcarriers are transmitted. At the receiver, the elimination scheme is proposed to remove the pilot data interference. Based on the temporal correlation of wireless channels, the WA method is used to reduce the interference caused by additive white Gaussian noise in the channel. Simulation results verify that the proposed method can be applied to different channel scenarios. It has better normalized mean square error and bit error rate performance than other existing methods, and the superimposed pilot can improve the throughput of wireless communication systems.
