ESTIMATION OF DOUBLY-SELECTIVE CHANNELS IN BLOCK TRANSMISSIONS USING DATA-DEPENDENT SUPERIMPOSED TRAINING

We propose to estimate time-varying frequency-selective channels using data-dependent superimposed training (DDST) and a basis expansion model (BEM). The pro-posed method is an extension of the DDST-based method recently proposed for time-invariant channels. The super-imposed training consists of the sum of a known sequence and a data-dependent sequence, which is unknown to the receiver. The data-dependent sequence cancels the effects of the unknown data on channel estimation. Simulation re-sults show that the proposed method compares favorably with time-division multiplexing training. 1
