依据时变信道的时域相关性以及和积算法(SPA)规则,提出了一种正交频分复用(OFDM)系统中基于图模型的信道估计算法。首先,将相邻OFDM符号之间的信道频率响应建模为一阶自回归(AR)过程;然后,在因子图上实现相邻信道系数节点之间的信息交换,通过多次迭代提高了导频处信道估计的精度。仿真结果表明,本算法可以有效改善最小二乘(LS)算法对于时变多径信道的估计性能,性能优于传统的最小均方(MMSE)信道估计。
In accordance with the time-domain correlation of time-varying channels and the SPA (Sum and Product Algorithm) rules, a channel estimation algorithm based on factor graph is proposed. Firstly, the channel frequency responses between adjacent the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple- xing) symbols are modeled as first-order AR (Auto-Regression) process, and then, information exchange between adjacent channel coefficient nodes is realized on the factor gragh, and via multiple iterations, the accuracy of least-square (LS) channel estimation on pilot positions is improved. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm could effectively improve the estimation performance of LS algorithm for time- varying multipath channels, and performs better than the traditional MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) channel estimation algorithm.
