Phase Noise Compensation Using Limited Reference Symbols in 3GPP LTE Downlink
It is known that phase noise (PN) can cause link performance to degrade
severely in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, such as
IEEE 802.11, 3GPP LTE and 5G. As opposed to prior PN mitigation schemes that
assume perfect channel information and/or abundant reference symbols (e.g., in
802.11), the proposed PN compensation technique applies to LTE and 5G downlink
with a limited number of reference symbols. Specifically, in this work, we
propose an efficient PN mitigation algorithm where the PN statistics are used
to obtain more accurate channel estimates. Based on LTE downlink subframe
structure, numerical results corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed
algorithm.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, lette
Ricean K-factor Estimation based on Channel Quality Indicator in OFDM Systems using Neural Network
Ricean channel model is widely used in wireless communications to
characterize the channels with a line-of-sight path. The Ricean K factor,
defined as the ratio of direct path and scattered paths, provides a good
indication of the link quality. Most existing works estimate K factor based on
either maximum-likelihood criterion or higher-order moments, and the existing
works are targeted at K-factor estimation at receiver side. In this work, a
novel approach is proposed. Cast as a classification problem, the estimation of
K factor by neural network provides high accuracy. Moreover, the proposed
K-factor estimation is done at transmitter side for transmit processing, thus
saving the limited feedback bandwidth.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure
