OPTIMAL MIMO ISI CHANNEL ESTIMATION USING LOOSELY SYNCHRONIZED CODES AND THEIR VARIATIONS

摘要

A training-based channel estimation technique is provided to estimate channel state information for MIMO systems that is highly energy efficient and optimal in terms of Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB). The technique employs loosely synchronized (LS) codes or shifted LS codes. The codes can be generated using a fast Golay correlator and an efficient Golay correlator. A low-complexity implementation is also provided.
