| Abstract: |
A semi-blind channel identification method is proposed for blocktransmission systems with guard intervals. Usually, block transmission systems append a sequence of L-1 zeros (where L is an upper bound on the channel length), called a guard interval, to each block before transmitting the blocks so as to prevent inter-block interference. This paper shows that by replacing the L-1 zeros between each block with specially chosen sequences of L known symbols, a penalty of just one extra symbol per block, it is possible to determine directly the channel coefficients from L consecutively received blocks. For non-time-varying channels, the scheme is equivalent to transmitting a training sequence every L blocks and hence it can be considered as a way of distributing a training sequence over L blocks. The benefit of the proposed method is twofold. Firstly, due to its distributed nature, it outperforms the training sequence method when the channel varies with time. Secondly, it has a lower latency delay than the traditional training sequence based method yet achieves the same or better performance. Note too that the proposed method retains all the advantages of guard intervals. |
