Embodiment 1

[0043] Such as image 3 As shown, it is now assumed that the WiMAX system has two transmitting antennas, the pilot structure is comb-shaped, and is interleaved in the time domain and / or frequency domain, and there are three signals: Pilot (pilot signal), Zero (null signal) and User data (user data signal).

[0044] This embodiment provides a channel estimation device. Such as Figure 4 As shown, the channel estimation apparatus of this embodiment includes a receiving pilot signal obtaining unit, a reference pilot signal obtaining unit, a pilot channel estimating unit, an extension unit, and a channel estimating unit. Each unit of the channel estimation device will be described in detail below.

[0045] Received pilot signal obtaining unit, used to obtain the received pilot signal of the original pilot position from the received signal

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a channel estimation device and a method thereof. The channel estimation device comprises a receiving pilot signal gaining unit which is used for gaining the receiving pilot signal at the original pilot position from the received signals, a reference pilot signal gaining unit which is used for gaining reference pilot signals, a pilot channel estimation unit which is used for estimating a first channel response according to the receiving pilot signal and the reference pilot signal, an expanding element which is used for expanding the first channel response and gaining a second channel response, and a channel estimation unit which is used for carrying out the channel estimation by the second channel response and the first channel response. The device and the method carry out the channel estimation by the second channel response and the first channel response, increase the density of the initial channel estimation, and improve the performance of channel estimation, thus improving the demodulation performance of the whole system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a communication technology, in particular to a channel estimation method and device. Background technique [0002] Since the 1990s, multi-carrier technology has become a hot technology in broadband wireless communication. The most representative system applying this technology is the WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) system using OFDM (Othogonal Frequency Division Multiplex, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) technology. In multi-carrier technology, a broadband carrier is divided into multiple sub-carriers, and data is transmitted on multiple sub-carriers simultaneously. In most system applications, since the width of the subcarrier is smaller than the coherent bandwidth of the channel, and the fading on each subcarrier on the frequency selective channel is flat fading, the intersymbol crosstalk is reduced and complex channel equalization is not required , suitable for high-speed data trans...
