Hardeep Singh, Ishan Khurana . Enhanced Adaptive Channel Estimation Technique for MIMO-OFDM Wireless Systems. International Journal of Computer Applications. 94, 20 ( May 2014), 29-33. DOI=10.5120/16553-6196
Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) in combination with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) can provide spectrally efficient and ISI free communication. Channel estimation is of great importance in order to recover the signal at the receiver side. Therefore accurate channel state information is essential for proper detection and decoding in MIMO-OFDM wireless systems. To estimate channel state information various types of techniques are being deployed in these systems. Accuracy and precision of channel estimation depends on the techniques used for the purpose of estimating channel state information. The more the accuracy of the technique, more will be the accurate performance of the system. In this paper an enhanced adaptive channel estimation using RLMS technique has been purposed. It is the combination of LMS and RLS algorithm. This technique provides better performance which can be judged by the BER performance. Comparison of the technique is done with the simple LMS and LLMS which is the combination of two LMS algorithms. Simulation results show that the purposed algorithm outperforms the latter algorithms. BPSK and QPSK modulations are used for analysis purposes.
