The invention belongs to the technical field of
wireless multi-carrier communication and
signal processing, and particularly discloses an LDPC (
Low Density Parity Check) assistance-based iterative channel
estimation method, which comprises the following steps of: performing LDPC
low density parity check code coding,
offset quadrature amplitude modulation and filter group multi-
carrier modulation on information at a transmitting end; at a receiving end, initial channel
estimation is calculated based on
pilot symbols, interpolation is carried out, and initial channel
estimation values at all data symbol positions are obtained; performing hard decision re-modulation reconstruction to obtain a reconstructed symbol after the data symbol is subjected to balanced
demodulation by using the
demodulation signal; calculating the updated channel estimation according to the receiving symbol and the reconstruction symbol; and combining the initial
channel frequency response estimation value at the
pilot frequency position and the updated channel estimation value at the data symbol position, carrying out
Gaussian filtering
processing on the combined channel estimation value, and outputting a final full
frequency domain channel estimation value. According to the invention, the channel estimation accuracy of the FBMC-OQAM
system can be effectively improved.
