Doubly selective channels

The last decade has witnessed numerous intensive studies in employing


orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for broadband
communication systems to exploit its high spectral eciency and
robustness against multipath (frequency-selective) fading channels. In the
current literature, most of these studies have assumed frequency-selective
channels to be time-invariant (i.e., quasi-static or block-fading) within a
transmission burst. This channel assumption can be used in a wireless
system with stationary and/or low-speed users.

In a wireless network with rapidly moving nodes (e.g., users in cars and
trains in 4G-LTE systems), the resulting time-variation (time-selectivity) of
the channel impulse response (CIR) introduces a large number of channel
parameters (much greater than that of quasi-static/block-fading
channels). In addition, the time-variation of the channel leads to a loss of
subcarrier orthogonality, resulting in inter-carrier interference (ICI) in
OFDM receivers. Under such a scenario, the assumption of quasi-static
fading channels becomes inappropriate. As a result, time- and
frequency-selective (doubly selective) channels should be considered in the
wireless system investigation and analysis.

To exploit the benets of BEMs in reducing the number of channel parameters
to be estimated, one can consider pilot-aided estimation of BEM coecients
(instead of time-variant CIR). In particular, for the pair of the &th transmit
antenna and the vth receive antenna, the |th time-variant channel tap gains
corresponding to the pilot OFDM symbol at the position i

in a burst can be
expressed in a vector form as follows

5.1.Bayesian approach: MAP technique
Based on the Bayesian approach and the received samples (6) in the time
domain, one can estimate BEM coecients by using the MAP estimation
principle. In particular, the MAP-based estimates of BEM coecients can be
determined as follows
c = arg max
c
ln j(cy), (7)
where j(cy) =
(yc)(c)
(y)
.
Hence, the MAP estimates of BEM coecients are given by
c = arg max
c
ln[j(yc)j(c)] , (8)

8.1.Possible research problems and expected outcomes in DSCE over
SC-FDMA channels

In the current literature, the problem of doubly selective channel


estimation (DSCE) over OFDM channels (e.g., LTE downlink) has been
addressed in many existing papers while DSCE over SC-FDMA channels
(e.g., LTE uplink) has received a little attention. As a result, DSCE over
SC-FDMA channels would need more studies. In particular, one could
consider pilot-aided DSCE using Fisher/Bayesian approach over SC-FDMA
channels.

The target is to develop a low-complexity DSCE algorithm using a


low-overhead pilot placement that can provide highly accurate channel
estimates in low SNR regimes (e.g., practical coded transmission
conditions).

The research results could be submitted to an IEEE conference.

8.2.Over relay/user-cooperation channels (multi-hop communications)
8.2.Possible research problems and expected outcomes in DSCE for
multi-hop systems

Most of studies in relay/user-cooperation (multi-hop) systems have


assumed that perfect channel estimation has been established at receivers.
Recently, a few papers have considered channel estimation in multi-hop
systems but the considered channels are usually assumed to be
time-invariant (i.e., quasi-static or block-fading).

As a result, time- and frequency-selective (doubly selective) channel


estimation in multi-hop systems could be an interesting research problem.
For instance, in relay systems, one can consider DSCE for
amplify-and-forward (AF) and/or decode-and-forward (DF) modes.

The research results could be submitted to an IEEE conference.

Low-overhead (optimal) pilot design for DSCE in multi-hop


communications would be of practical importance. The corresponding
research results could be considered for a journal submission.
