Optimal Pilot Sequences Design for MIMO-OFDM Systems in Mobile Wireless Channels1 Wang Han ，Wang JinKuan School of Information Science Engineering, Northeastern University，Shenyang (110004) E-mail ：musicestimation@126.com Abstract A least squares (LS) channel estimation scheme in time domain is proposed for MIMO-OFDM system based on pilot tones in this paper. The basic idea is that the time-domain samples generated by the pilot tones of the transmitter and the receiver are used to estimate the time-domain channel responses. Optimal pilot sequences (OPS) with regard to (w.r.t) the mean square error (MSE) of LS channel estimation are also presented; it is shown that the OPS are equipowered, equispaced, and position orthogonal. The bigger guard bandwidth can be used to avoid the transmitted data being distorted more effectively in the proposed OPS, because the maximum guard bandwidth (MGB) of proposed OPS is bigger than that of the conventional OPS. Through simulations, it is shown that the OPS derived in this paper outperforms the conventional OPS in terms of MSE and BER.

Introduction Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has attracted a lot of attention due to its high data transmission capability, simple implementation, and robustness against frequency-selective fading channels, which is obtained by converting the channel into flat fading subchannels. OFDM has been standardized for a variety of applications, such as digital audio broadcasting (DAB), digital television broadcasting
