The mean square error bound on the proposed method is derived and the optimal train- ing sequence scheme with respect to this bound is also given. In addition, Chu sequence with the optimal power alloca- tion is chosen as training sequence to achieve the minimum mean square error estimation performance. Simulation results confirm the performance of the proposed channel estimation method in multi-node AF cooperative communication sce- narios and the
