Abstract:

For high-speed mobile MIMO-OFDM systems,a historical information based iterative soft-Kalman filter time-varying channel estimation method was proposed.Considering that the channels experienced by different trains in the high-speed railway environment have strong correlation,the channel information of the historical train was firstly used to obtain the optimal basis function,which can be employed to model the channel.By the optimal basis function,the computational complexity was reduced and the channel estimation accuracy was improved for the proposed method.Secondly,the soft-Kalman filter and data detection were jointed to estimate the base coefficient in each iteration.To reduce the effect of data detection error propagation on the channel estimation,the soft data detection scheme was employed and the soft detection error was treated as noise in each iteration.In addition,the soft-Kalman filter used in the proposed method does not involve the AR model tracking factor,thereby avoiding the computational complexity introduced by the estimated tracking factor.The simulation results show that the proposed method has better estimation performance,and is more suitable for time-varying channel acquisition of actual high-speed mobile scenarios.

Key words: MIMO-OFDM, high-speed mobility, time-varying channel estimation, historical information, soft-Kalman filter, iterative channel estimation
