Adaptive Modeling and Long-Range Prediction of Wireless Channel Fading

Coherent communication requires that channel estimates be available at the receiver. These estimates are usually obtained using some sort of preamble or pilots. Powerful pilots may not be available in some systems as they consume a big part of the transmit power. Therefore, we propose a novel channel prediction algorithm that works well in the case that channel estimates are not accurate. Our simulations show that this algorithm is excellent for long-range prediction, which could be very helpful for other parts of the communication system as well
