  • Abstract
    In this paper, we study the Maximum Likelihood (ML) channel estimation for MIMO-OFDM systems with virtual carriers. A unified ML channel (UML) estimator is proposed to overcome performance loss caused by virtual carriers. The UML is a generalized algorithm applied to both pilot-aided and preamble based systems with arbitrarily placed virtual carriers. To reduce the complexity, Speeded and Compressed ML channel estimation (SCML) is proposed reduce both implementation storage and calculation complexity, to 26% of origin under 4G Gbits V-BLAST MIMO-OFDM system with good performance.
