ABSTRACT


We present techniques of using repeated training blocks for maximum-likelihood (ML) and least-squares (LS) based channel estimation of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over slow quasi-static fading channels. Both frequency-selective and frequency-nonselective channels are considered. Explicit analytical expressions of channel estimators and the corresponding estimator mean square errors (MSEs) are derived for both ML and LS estimations. For the ML channel estimators, closed-form expressions of Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) are also obtained to compare with the MSEs. Both theoretical and numerical results are presented and compared.


Keywords: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, Maximum-Likelihood Estimation, Least-Squares Estimation, Cramer-Rao Lower Bound
