Abstract

A novel parametric channel estimation scheme for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed in this paper. The new scheme first makes use of the Hannan-Quinn (HQ) criterion to estimate the number of channel paths. After obtaining the number of channel paths, the multipath time delays can be easily obtained via some simple operations. Then the channel coefficients are estimated by utilizing the estimated number of channel paths and time delays. Compared with the existing parametric channel estimation scheme, as well as offering enhanced performance under low signal to noise ratio (SNR) conditions, our scheme requires less complexity.
