  3. Introduction • Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system has been demonstrated to be effective in a frequency-selective Multi-path fading environment. • To compensate the deleterious effects of the fading channels, pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) technique has been used to obtain the channel estimate.

  4. The number of pilot symbols is a tradeoff between channel estimation accuracy and bandwidth efficiency.

  5. We propose a novel method which is based on the derivation and analysis of BER for a given channel SNR. • Through examination of the analytical BER curves with different pilot spacing, the smallest number of pilots can be easily found. • 在給定的SNR下與期望的BER下,求所需之最少pilot數

  6. Channel estimation for OFDM • Pilot symbol assisted OFDM channel estimation method is viewed as follows • Through multi-path fading channel, the received OFDM signal can be written as:

  7. After removing the guard interval and performing DFT on y(t), we obtain: • The pilot sub-channel can be estimated using the least square method:

  8. The data sub-channel information can be estimated by taking interpolation between the pilot sub-channel estimates. • In linear interpolation, the data sub-channel estimate is given by: • Thus, the transmitted data symbol at the ith data sub-channel and the nth OFDM symbol can be estimated by

  9. Analytical BER of OFDM System • We assume the channel is a wide sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel with a Jakes power spectrum density (PSD).

  10. Frequency selective fading case • The average bit error rate for an OFDM-QPSK system is given by

  11. To evaluate (1) and (2), we need to know the channel’s frequency correlation function (FCF). Assuming a 6-tap typical urban (TU) channel model ,the resulting channel’s FCF in one OFDM symbol is given by

  12. Frequency-selective and time-selective fading case • Considering the Doppler spread induced by the mobile receiver, the resultant time-varying channel is approximated as a time-invariant channel and the approximation error is considered as Gaussian noise

  13. The variance of the approximation error can be denoted by • the total mean noise power equals to

  14. Multi-path correlated fading case • In wide-band radio-wave propagation, the correlation coefficients between transmission paths may have values ranging from 0 to larger than 0.8 • Thus the FCF depends on the actual frequencies under consideration, rather than just the frequency spacing.

  15. Here, the channel’s FCF can be expressed as • If Φ is a diagonal matrix that indicates the multiple paths are uncorrelated, (4) will lead to (3).

  16. Process of searching the optimal number of pilots • Substitute an initial pilot spacing, L0, and other OFDM system and channel parameters into the analytical BER formula. So the BER in terms of SNR at pilot spacing L0 can be obtained and represented by Pb(L0). • Increase the pilot spacing by one, i.e. L1 = L0 + 1, and obtain Pb(L1) similarly. Repeat the process iteratively and a set of Pb(L) (L = L0, L1, · · · , LP ) can be obtained.

  17. Plot these BER curves in one figure, and compare them with the desired BER at the given SNR. • The curve having the maximal pilot spacing yet satisfying the requirement is identified and from which the minimal number of pilot symbols can be found.

  18. Simulation environment • An un-coded PSAM-OFDM system • OFDM symbol duration=224μs • Sampling interval = 7/64μs. • Bandwidth = 8MHz. • Center carrier frequency =470MHz. • Length of cyclic prefix = 1/16 • Number of carriers=2048. • 6-tap TU channel model is considered • the uncorrelated multi-path fading are simulated with Jakes PSD. • Modulation of the sub-carrier is assumed to be QPSK.

  19. Simulation result

  20. Example • A mobile receiver is moving with 100 km/h in an uncorrelated multi-path fading channel • how many pilots should at least be used in a PSAM-OFDM system in order to achieve a BER lower than at 30 dB SNR?
