  2. Small Scale Fading -- 1 • Problem 1: multi-path induces delay spread.

  3. Impulse Response Model of a Multipath Channel • A mobile radio channel may be modeled as a linear filter with a time varying impulse response, where the time variation is due to receiver motion in space. • The filtering nature of the channel is caused by the summation of amplitudes and delays of the multiple arriving waves at any instant of time.

  4. Channel Impulse Response • Due to the different multipath waves which have propagation delays which vary over different spatial locations of the receiver, the impulse response of the linear time invariant channel should be a function of the position of the receiver.

  8. Outline • OFDM Overview • Pilot Arrangement • Channel Estimation @ Block-Type • Channel Estimation @ Comb-Type Pilot • Interpolation @ Comb-Type

  9. Introduction • The channel estimation can be performed by either inserting pilot tones into all of the subcarriers of OFDM symbols with a specific period (block type) or inserting pilot tones into each OFDM symbol (comb type). • The block type estimation can be based on Least Square (LS) or Minimum Mean-Square (MMSE). • The comb type estimation can be based on LS or MMSE or Least Mean-Square (LMS) then interpolate the channel.

  10. OFDM Overview • Divides high-speed serial information signal into multiple lower-speed sub-signals. • Transmits simultaneously at different frequencies in parallel. • Modulation ( BPSK,QPSK,16QAM, 64QAM). • Pilot subcarriers used to prevent frequency and phase shift errors.

  11. Benefits of OFDM • Higher data rates • Overlap of subcarriers • Lower bandwidth than spread spectrum. • High spectral efficiency • Lower multi-path distortion • Usage of cyclic prefix

  14. Pilot Arrangement • Comb Type • Some sub-carriers are reserved for pilots for each symbol • Block Type • All sub-carriers reserved for pilots with a specific period

  15. Channel Estimation @Block-Type • If ISI is eliminated by the guard interval, we can write where

  16. Channel Estimation @Block-Type [1] • If the time domain channel vector h is Gaussian and uncorrelated with the channel noise W, the frequency domain MMSE estimate of h is given by: where

  17. Channel Estimation @Block-Type [1] • The LS estimate is represented by : where

  18. Channel Estimation @Block-Type • When the channel is slow fading, the channel estimation inside the block can be updated using the decision feedback equalizer at each sub-carrier. • For fast fading, the comb-type estimation performs much better. Decision Feedback Equalizer

  20. Channel Estimation @ Comb-Type • The Np pilot signals uniformly inserted in X(k) according to the following equation: where L= # of Carriers / Np and xp(m) is the mth pilot carrier value. • We define {Hp(k) k=0,1,…,Np} as the frequency response of the channel at pilot sub-carriers • Yp(k)and Xp(k) are output and input at the kth pilot sub-carrier respectively.

  21. Channel Estimation @ Comb-Type • The estimate of the channel at pilot sub-carriers based on LS estimation is given by: • Yp(k)and Xp(k) are output and input at the kth pilot sub-carrier respectively. • Since LS estimate is susceptible to noise and ICI, MMSE is proposed while compromising complexity.

  26. Interpolation @ Comb-Type • Low Pass Interpolation (interp in MATLAB) • Insert zeros into the original sequence • Low-pass FIR filter while passing original data unchanged • Interpolation such that mean-square error between ideal and interpolated values min.

  29. Interpolation @ Comb-Type [3] • Time Domain Interpolation • The time domain interpolation is a high-resolution interpolation based on zero-padding and DFT/IDFT. • We first convert it to time domain by IDFT: • The signal is interpolated by transforming the points into N points with the following method:

  30. Interpolation @ Comb-Type • Time Domain Interpolation • The estimation of the channel at all frequencies is obtained by:
