Improved channel estimation based on adaptive SVM for NC-OFDM systems

摘要

Non-contiguous OFDM (NC-OFDM) system is popular as its characteristics of avoiding interference by spectrum sensing. The traditional channel estimation methods can not be applied to the NC-OFDM systems directly as its special scheme. The improved time-domain channel estimation method based on adaptive support vector machine (SVM) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimation is proposed for NC-OFDM systems in this paper. It adopts the spectrum sensing based on adaptive SVM at the receiver. The simulation results show that the mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) performance outperform than the conventional schemes under the same condition.
