    Iterative channel estimation approach for space-time/frequency coded OFDM systems with transmitter diversity
    (Assoc Elettrotecnica Ed Elettronica Italiana, 2004-06) Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal; Doğan, Hakan
    Focusing on transmit diversity orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission through frequency selective channels, this paper pursues novel iterative channel estimation approaches for both space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) and space-time OFDM (ST-OFDM) systems. Relying on the unifying signal model for SF-OFDM and ST-OFDM transmitter diversity systems, we develop computationally efficient, maximum a posteriori (MAP) channel estimation algorithms according to the MAP criterion. The algorithms require a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and estimates the complex channel parameters of each subcarriers iteratively using the expectation-maximisation (EM) method. In order to explore the performance, the closed-form expression for the average symbol error rate (SER) probability is derived for the maximum ratio combiner (MRC). Furthermore, to benchmark performance of the MAP channel estimator, the modified Cramer-Rao bound of channel estimates is also derived. Finally, we provide simulation results studying the influence of delay spread, propagation parameters and modelling mismatch on the performance of channel estimation techniques. Simulation results confirm our theoretical analysis and illustrate that the proposed algorithms are capable of tracking fast fading and improving overall performance.

    Channel estimation for space-time block coded OFDM systems in the presence of multipath fading
    (IEEE, 2002) Panayırcı, Erdal; Çırpan, Hakan Ali
    In this paper, a computationally efficient, non-data-aided maximum a posterlori(MAP) channel estimation algorithm is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with transmitter diversity using space-time block coding. The Alamouti's transmit diversity scheme with two transmit antennas is employed here and generalized for OFDM systems. The algorithm requires a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve orthogonal expansion and estimates the complex channel parameters of each subcarriers iteratively using the Expectation Maximization(EM) method, which converges to the true MAP estimation of the unknown channel. Ananalytical expression is derived for the Modified Cramer-Rao. lower bound of the proposed MAP channel estimator. The performance is presented in terms of the mean-square error for a system employing QPS signaling.

    Linear expansions for frequency selective channels in OFDM
    (Elsevier GMBH, 2006) Şenol, Habib; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
    Modeling the frequency selective fading channels as random processes, we employ a linear expansion based on the Karhumen-Loeve (KL) series representation involving a complete set of orthogonal deterministic vectors with a corresponding uncorrelated random coefficients. Focusing on OFDM transmissions through frequency selective fading, this paper pursues a computationally efficient, pilot-aided linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients estimation algorithm. Based on such an expansion, no matrix inversion is required in the proposed MMSE estimator. Moreover, truncation in the linear expansion of channel is achieved by exploiting the optimal truncation property of the KL expansion resulting in a smaller computational load on the estimation algorithm. The performance of the proposed approach is studied through analytical and experimental results. We first exploit the performance of the MMSE channel estimator based on the evaluation of minimum Bayesian MSE. We also provide performance analysis results studying the influence of the effect of SNR and correlation mismatch on the estimator performance. Simulation results confirm our theoretical results and illustrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of tracking fast fading and improving performance.

    Maximum a posteriori multipath fading channel estimation for OFDM systems
    (Assoc Elettrotecnica Ed Elettronica Italiana, 2002-10) Panayırcı, Erdal; Çırpan, Hakan Ali
    In this paper, a non-data-aided maximum a posteriori (MAP) channel estimation technique for OFDM systems employing M-PSK modulation scheme is proposed. The technique requires a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve orthogonal expansion and estimates the complex channel parameters of each subcarriers iteratively in frequency domain using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. Pilot symbols are employed to choose reliable initial values of the unknown channel parameters. An analytical expression is derived for the exact Cramer-Rao lower bound of the proposed MAP channel estimator. Moreover, robustness of estimator to changes in channel correlation and signal-to-noise ratio is also analyzed. The performance is presented in terms of the mean-square error and the uncoded symbol error rate for a system employing QPSK signaling. Computer simulations demonstrate that the performance of OFDM systems using coherent demodulation based on our channel estimation can be significantly improved.

    Joint channel tracking and symbol detection for OFDM systems with Kalman filtering
    (Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2003) Şen, Adnan; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
    This paper proposes a new joint channel tracking and symbol detection scheme for pilot symbol-assisted OFDM systems in multipath fading. The proposed scheme uses Kalman filters for both channel tracking and subsequent equalization which are combined in the coupled estimator structure. Modelling the multipath fading channel as random processes to describe channel variations in a general AR framework lends itself to a state-space representation that enables the application of Kalman filtering for the tracking of channel variations. However, the proposed tracking algorithm requires knowledge of the transmitted symbols. This implies that an iterative method should be sought to obtain alternatively either channel or transmitted symbols. To compose the coupled estimator structure, a linear Kalman filter equalizer with the corresponding state-space model is therefore proposed for the detection of transmitted symbols. With the proposed Kalman filters, iterative structure is utilized to decode transmitted symbols and subsequently to track channel parameters. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is investigated through the experimental results.

    Adaptive Kalman receiver for OFDM systems with transmit diversity in mobile wireless channels
    (Walter De Gruyter GMBH, 2004-12) Şen, Adnan; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
    A new joint channel tracking and symbol detection scheme is proposed in this paper for pilot symbol assisted transmit diversity OFDM systems by exploiting the correlation of the adjacent subchannels. Modelling the channel frequency response of every subcarrier corresponding to each transmit antenna as random processes, we employ Kalman filters for both channel tracking and subsequent decoding with diversity gain. Among different stochastic models, the AR model is adopted herein for channel dynamics. Since the proposed adaptive receiver uses two Kalman filters to track the variations of the channel and subsequently to detect the information symbols, they are combined in the coupled receiver structure. Finally the performance of the proposed method is studied through experimental results.

    Design and performance analysis of a novel trellis coded space-time-frequency OFDM transmission scheme
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-01) Oğuz, Onur; Aygölü, Hasan Ümit; Panayırcı, Erdal
    In this paper a new transmit diversity technique is proposed for wireless communications over frequency selective fading channels. The proposed technique utilises orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to transform a frequency selective fading channel into multiple flat fading subchannels on which first space-frequency coding and then additional space-time coding are applied resulting in a space-time-frequency OFDM (STF-OFDM) scheme. This scheme provides a quasi-orthogonal 4 x 4 transmission matrix but relax the constraint on channel fading parameters to be constant over four time or frequency slots into two time and two frequency slots. The pairwise error probability of the new scheme is evaluated and new code design criteria are obtained to improve the error performance. 64-, 128- and 256-state 4-PSK trellis codes for STF transmission scheme are generated based on these criteria and their frame error performances in an OFDM system are evaluated by computer simulations.

    Pilot-aided bayesian MMSE channel estimation for OFDM systems: Algorithm and performance analysis
    (IEEE, 2004) Şenol, Habib; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
    This paper proposes a computationally efficient, pilot-aided minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems. The proposed approach employs a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and estimates uncorrelated series expansion coefficients. Moreover, optimal rank reduction is achieved in the proposed approach by exploiting the optimal truncation property of the KL expansion resulting in a smaller computational load on the estimation algorithm. The performance of the proposed approach is studied through analytical and experimental results. We first consider the stochastic Cramer-Rao bound and derive the closed-form expression for the random KL coefficients. We then exploit the performance of the MMSE channel estimator based on the evaluation of minimum Bayesian MSE.
