INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION In this paper, improved channel estimation

methods based on the parametric channel approximation model using pilot tones are proposed for the OFDM system .

The full-rank MMSE estimator has large computational complexity , and in parametric channel estimator can only be adopted in sparse multi-path fading channels.

In order to solve these problems lying in with the channel models , a parametric model is proposed . This model is called

“fraction taps channel approximation(FTCA)” channel model .

ConclusionsConclusionsAs compared to the observed channel

model , its dimension reduced, where the full-rank estimators using pilots tones can be adopted, and consequently, improves the channel estimation performance .

It eliminates the problem of multi-path delay estimation and can be adopted in a channel not restricted to a sparse mlti-path fading.
