The invention belongs to the field of OFDM (
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) channel
estimation, and relates to a data-assisted short-wave OFDM sparse channel Turbo iterative
estimation method, which comprises the following steps of: S1, receiving and
processing a
signal transmitted by a channel to obtain a receiving end symbol matrix Y; s2, performing channel
estimation and
equalization on the Y to obtain an estimated channel and an OFDM (
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
signal # imgabs0 #, performing Turbo iteration on the # imgabs1 # to obtain a symbol variance # imgabs2 #; S3, selecting a virtual
pilot frequency in a
signal # imgabs4 # according to the # imgabs3 #; s4, performing channel estimation and
equalization on the Y according to the virtual
pilot frequency to obtain a currently estimated channel and an OFDM signal # imgabs5 # S5, performing Turbo iteration on the signal # imgabs6 # to obtain a current symbol variance # imgabs7 # S6, and if a preset maximum number of iterations is reached, obtaining a final estimated channel; otherwise, returning to the step S3, and selecting the virtual
pilot frequency in the signal # imgabs9 # according to the # imgabs8 #; according to the method, the virtual pilot frequency is selected from the signal # imgabs10 # according to the symbol variance, and the virtual pilot frequency is used for estimation again, so that the spectrum
utilization rate is improved, and the channel estimation performance is improved.
