Abstract:

For the estimation of MIMO frequency selective channel, to mitigate the curse of dimensionality, a novel particle filtering scheme combined with time delay domain processing is proposed. In order to extract the time delay domain channel impulse response from the observed signal, the least-squares (LS) and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) criteria are discussed and the comparable performance of LS with MMSE for samplespaced channel is revealed. Incorporated the dynamical channel model, gradient particle filtering is further introduced to improve the estimation performance. The robustness of the channel estimator for underestimated Doppler frequency and the effectiveness of the new estimation scheme are illustrated through simulation at last.
