Abstract:

In OFDM systems,accurate channel estimation is the key to against the effect of the interchannel interference in a multipath Rayleigh fading channel.In this paper,a novel channel estimation method for mobile OFDM systems is proposed by using the interpolation technique based on Catmull-Rom(CR)Spline function.Using CR Spline function interpolation method to design a specific pilot structure,This leads to a CR Spline function form for channel estimation.This method can estimation the channel fading envelope with a few pilot.The validity of the proposed pilot structure and channel estimation with CR Spline function is demonstrated by computer simulations.

Key words: channel estimation, OFDM, ICI, fast fading, CR Spline, doppler shift
