Code-Aided Channel Tracking for OFDM
Overview This contribution deals with the problem of tracking a frequency-selective channel for OFDM systems, where the data is protected by a powerful error-correcting code. This paper presents an EM-based receiver, operating on a single OFDM symbol at a time, that iterates between channel estimation and data detection. The channel estimator accepts information from the detector in the form of a posteriori probabilities. The estimator is robust in a sense that it makes very few assumptions regarding the underlying channel model. Complexity-reducing approximations are discussed. Performance results are provided in the form of Monte Carlo simulations.
