Clipping noise mitigation for channel estimation in OFDM systems

摘要

This letter provides a new technique to mitigate the clipping noise on pilot symbols in clipped and pilot-aided orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The basic principle is to directly filter the clipping noise on the positions of pilots in the frequency domain before the insertion of pilots. Simulation results show that the new technique can effectively improve channel estimation and system performance.
