Estimation of Compressible Channel Impulse Response for OFDM Modulated Transmissions

Channel estimation scheme for OFDM modulated transmissions usually combines an initial block-pilot-assisted stage with a tracking one based on comb or scattered pilots distributed among user data in the signal frame. The channel reconstruction accuracy in the former stage has a significant impact on...
