Abstract

We present, in this paper, pilot-assisted channel estimation (CE) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing combined with time division multiplexing (OFDM/TDM) using minimum mean square error frequency-domain equalization (MMSE-FDE) over a nonlinear and frequency-selective fading channel. Joint use of time-domain filtering to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of pilot signal and frequency-domain interpolation for OFDM/TDM is presented. The simulation results show that OFDM/TDM with proposed pilot-assisted CE provides a better performance than OFDM since the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem can be reduced.
