Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel blind iterative channel estimation algorithm for the Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system, where pilot symbols for estimating multipath channel are no longer needed. Since channel coding can introduce sufficient coding gain to enhance the robustness of communication systems, we iteratively feed the hard-decision bit information output by Low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoder back to the channel estimator to improve parameter estimation accuracy. Furthermore, we apply a denoising algorithm based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) method to deal with the estimation result of the least square (LS) algorithm, which further optimizes the performance of the estimator. Simulation results verify that the bit error rate (BER) performance of our proposed blind iterative channel estimation method is about 8 dB better than that of the conventional pilot-assisted LS estimation method when BER is 10-6.
