WiMAX System Performance in Highly Mobile Scenarios With Directional Antennas

This paper presents a performance evaluation of a WiMAX system (802.16-2004) employing directional antennas in highly mobile applications. A WiMAX physical layer simulator is used together with an appropriate mobile channel model to perform the analysis. Results show that mobile performance is significantly improved when directional antennas are utilised at...

Bandwidth Efficient Channel Estimation Using Super-Imposed Pilots in OFDM Systems

This paper proposes a channel estimation algorithm using super-imposed pilots for OFDM systems. The pilot symbols are added linearly to the modulated data symbol at a fraction of the total transmit power, making the method spectrally efficient. This paper presents a series of iterative and non-iterative receivers in which complexity...

Optimal Superimposed Pilot Selection for OFDM Channel Estimation

This paper presents an optimal strategy for utilizing superimposed pilots for OFDM channel estimation using Wiener filtering. An algorithm is formulated to determine the optimal rectangular set of time-frequency samples for channel estimation for a given complexity. The proposed scheme shows an improved performance at high Doppler frequencies. Moreover, the...

Pilot-Symbol-Aided Iterative Channel Estimation for OFDM-Based Systems

This paper proposes a pilot-symbol-aided iterative channel estimation for coded OFDM-based systems. The authors use the symbol APP provided by the channel decoder to form groups of virtual pilots. According to their reliabilities, the authors combine these groups to improve the channel estimation. The paper also compares the proposed algorithm...
