A Carrier Interferometry based Channel Estimation Technique for One-Cell Reuse MIMO-OFDM/TDMA Cellular Systems

摘要

This paper propose a channel estimation technique for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) - orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) / time division multiple access (TDMA) (MIMO-OFDM/TDMA) cellular systems based on the dynamic parameter controlled -OF/TDMA (DPC-OF/TDMA) systems. In the proposed scheme, impulse responses of all the transmit antennas are multiplexed in the time domain using a carrier interferometry (CI) signal, which is equivalent to an impulse signal, and each impulse response is discriminated using a time window with the length of the maximum delay time of delayed paths, in order to estimate a channel state information (CSI) using only 64 subcarriers. Computer simulation confirms that the proposed channel estimation scheme is effective even in the case of 64 subcarriers under MIMO and multi-cell conditions.
