Abstract

This paper deals with how to design a MIMO preamble for OFDM-based WLAN with a subset of subcarriers, which decreases the performance of channel estimation in MIMO. A practical MIMO preamble design should consider mean square error (MSE) of channel estimate, peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR) and autocorrelation functions (ACF) together. Our results show that the phase-shift (PS) codes modified by the "jumping design", "seed sequence" and the "known scrambler" together perform good regarding MSE, PAPR and ACF respectively. The combined design is proposed as new long training symbols at the second part of a preamble.
