Abstract :
The use of real time channel estimation information is known to result in significant performance advantages in coded systems operating on fading channels. Little work has been done in fast and accurate channel signal to noise ratio estimation in a very noisy channels (SNR<0 dB). In this paper, a new real time channel estimation technique using the Viterbi algorithm and fuzzy logic concepts is presented
