BEM-based UKF Channel Estimation for 5G-enabled V2V Channel

Abstract

An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) based on Basis Expansion Model (BEM) is proposed in this paper to cope with the challenges of 5G-enabled V2V channel estimation. The BEM is adopted to reduce the estimation complexity and eliminate the inter-carrier interference (ICI). A channel estimation based on UKF which is able to jointly estimate the time-varying time correlation coefficients and channel impulse response (CIR) in a non-linear state space model is proposed. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed BEM-based UKF method shows better estimation accuracy, robustness and bit error rate (BER) performance than the traditional channel estimation methods in 5G-enabled V2V channel
