CS Based Channel Estimation for OFDM Systems under Long Delay Channels Using MATLAB

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a technique which are used in the next-generation wireless communication. Channel estimation in the OFDM technique is one of the big challenges, ever since high-resolution channel estimation can significantly improve the equalization at the receiver and consequently enhance the communication performances. Channel computation using superimposed pilot sequences is also a fully new area, idea for using superimposed pilot sequences has been proposed by various authors for different applications. In this paper, we are introduced a high accurate, low complexity compressive sensing (CS) based channel estimation namely Auxiliary information based Subspace Pursuit (ASP) in TFT-OFDM systems. ASP based channel estimation in TFT-OFDM system is based on two steps. First is, by exploiting the signal structure of recently proposed TDM-OFDM scheme, the supporting channel information is obtained. Second is, we propose the supporting information based subspace pursuit (SP) algorithm to use a very small amount of frequency domain pilots embedded in the OFDM block used for the exact channel estimation. Moreover, the obtained auxiliary channel information is adopted to reduce the complexity of the conventional SP algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate a important reduction of the number of pilots relative to least-squares channel estimation and supporting high-order modulations like 256 QAM
