Abstract

A low-complexity pilot pattern and a frequency-domain channel estimation method for Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) mitigation is proposed for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDM) systems. The proposed method exploits the band structure of the coupling matrix to perform an ICI-free channel estimation in the frequency domain. This ICI-free estimation relies on some conditions imposed over the pilot pattern that simplify the complexity of channel estimation significantly, since its complexity is the same as classical least squares (LS) channel estimation used in low mobility scenarios. Then, the ICI is removed by using a modified version of Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalization, which reduces the computational complexity considerably. This modified MMSE equalization relies on the sparse and banded structure of the coupling matrix and on a low complexity variant of the Cholesky decomposition, which is named LDLH factorization. It is shown that the proposed method greatly improves the Bit Error Rate (BER) in the high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) regime.
