Abstract

In this paper, we propose a mobile channel estimation algorithm using matching pursuit algorithm for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Least square (LS) algorithm, which is used as a conventional channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems, has error probability of channel estimation affected by effects of noise. By estimating the channel of sparse type, the proposed algorithm reduces effects of noise during time intervals that multi-path signal doesn't exist. The proposed algorithm estimates a mobile receivingchannel using pilot information transmitted consequently. We compare performance of the proposed algorithm with the LS algorithm by measuring symbol error rate with 64QAM under a mobile multi-path fading channel model.

본 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중 접속 (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM) 시스템에서 MP (matching pursuit) 알고리듬을 이용하는 이동 채널 추정법을 제안한다. OFDM 시스템에서 기존의 채널추정 알고리듬으로 쓰이는 LS (least square) 알고리듬은 잡음의 영향으로 채널 추정 오류의 가능성을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MP 알고리듬을 이용하여 스파스(sparse)형태의 채널을 추정함으로써 다중경로 신호가 없다고 가정되는 시간 구간에서 발생될 수 있는 잡음에 의한 영향을 줄인다. 그리고 연속으로 전송되는 파일럿 정보를 이용하여 변화하는 채널을 추정한다. 64QAM,그리고 이동 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에 대해서 심볼 오율을 측정하여 제안된 알고리듬과 LS알고리듬의 성능을 비교한다.
