This paper first proposes a computationally efficient pilot-aided linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) batch channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems in unknown wireless fading channels. The proposed approach employs a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and finds MMSE estimates of the uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients. Based on such an expansion no matrix inversion is required in the proposed ...

Training schemes for full duplex two-way relays are investigated. We propose a novel one-block training scheme with a maximum likelihood estimator to estimate the channels between the nodes as well as the residual self-interference (RSI) channel simultaneously. A quasi-Newton algorithm is used to solve the estimator. As a baseline a multi-block training scheme is also considered. The Cramer-Rao bounds of the one-block and multi-block training schemes are derived. By using the Szego's theorem about ...

This paper explores the performance of time-domain synchronous orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) systems operated under rapidly time-varying mobile channels. Since a rapidly time-varying channel contains more unknown channel coefficients than the number of observations, the mobile channel can conveniently be modeled with the discrete Legendre polynomial basis expansion model to reduce the number of unknowns. The linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) estimate can be exploited ...

In this work maximum likelihood (ML) channel estimation for uplink multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems is considered in the presence of frequency fading channel. The expectation-maximization (EM)- and a space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm are introduced to avoid matrix inversion for the ML channel estimation problem. We compare the both algorithms in terms of the number of used iteration and show that the proposed algorithms converge the ...

Visible Light Communication(VLC) has been considered as a potential access option for 5G wireless systems to solve performance limitation due to bandwidth shortage at radio frequency (RF) band. In (VLC) system illumination infrastructure has dual usage at the same time namely illumination and wireless data transmission. DC Biased optical (DCO)-OFDM has been proposed for VLC systems to provide optically power efficient solution and easy implementation. Wireless communication systems generally require ...

We consider distributed estimation of a source in additive Gaussian noise observed by sensors that are connected to a fusion center with unknown orthogonal (parallel) flat Rayleigh fading channels. We adopt a two-phase approach of i) channel estimation with training and ii) source estimation given the channel estimates and transmitted sensor observations where the total power is fixed. In the second phase we consider both an equal power scheduling among sensors and an optimized choice of powers. ...

Spatial modulation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SM-OFDM) system has been recently proposed as an alternative for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-OFDM systems to increase spectral efficiency by keeping a low-complexity implementation. In the literature SM-OFDM systems assume a perfect channel state information (P-CSI) available at the receiver for coherent detection and the channel estimation problem is not considered. It is clear that the channel estimation is a critical issue ...

We describe a new joint iterative channel estimation and equalization algorithm for joint channel estimation and data detection for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency selective and rapidly timevarying channels. The algorithm is based on the expectation maximization-maximum a posteriori (EM-MAP) technique which is very suitable for the multicarrier signal formats. The algorithm leads to a receiver structure that yields the equalized output using ...
