Identifying time-varying channels with aid of pilots for MIMO-OFDM

In this paper, we consider pilot-aided channel estimation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with a multiple-input multiple-output setup. The channel is time varying due to Doppler effects and can be approximated by an oversampled complex exponential basis expansion model. We use a best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE)...

Shifted Known Symbol Padding for Efficient Data Communication in a WLAN Context

To allow for a computationally efficient equalization scheme for the frequency-selective transmission channels encountered in wireless local area network (WLAN) applications, cyclic prefix (CP) block transmission schemes have been proposed, such as single-carrier CP (SC-CP) and multi-carrier CP (MC-CP) transmission, also known as orthogonal...
