An Improved Channel Estimation Algorithm Based on WD-DDA in OFDM System

Abstract

Channel estimation is the key technology to ensure reliable transmission in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. In order to improve the accuracy of the channel estimation algorithm in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) channel environment, in this paper, we proposed an improved channel estimation algorithm based on the transform domain. The improved algorithm with wavelet denoising (WD) and distance decision analysis (DDA) to perform secondary denoising on the channel estimation algorithm based on the transform domain is proposed. First, after the least-squares (LS) algorithm, WD is used to denoise for the first time, then the DDA is used to further suppress the residual noise in the transform domain, and the important channel taps are screened out. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the detection performance of existing channel estimation algorithms based on transform domain in low SNR.
