A Channel Estimation Method for OFDM Based Wireless Communication System in High Speed Environment

This paper investigates the channel estimation in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing system under a fast-varying channel, by exploiting a frequency shifted complex exponential basis expansion models (CE-BEM). The conventional CE-BEM model suffers from power leakage and consequential modelling error floor, especially at the channel boundaries. The proposed BEM model reduces the leakage power efficiently by exploiting a fractional frequency on the coefficients of CE-BEM matrix. Numerical results show that the performance of the proposed channel modeling and coefficients estimation method are robust against various normalized Doppler frequency. The modeling error at the channel boundaries can be reduced substantially.
