C. KALMAN ESTIMATOR
Kalman predictor and corrector mathematical
equations, it calculates the next state and the output
based on the guesses.
The Equations used are : PREDICTOR
EQUATIONS
xapriori(j)=a*xaposteriori(j-1)
residual(j)=z(j)-h*xapriori(j)
papriori(j)=a*a*paposteriori(j-1)+Q
k(j)=h*papriori(j)/(h*h*papriori(j)+R)
paposteriori(j)=papriori(j)*(1-h*k(j))
xaposteriori(j)=xapriori(j)+k(j)*residual(j)
In the above equations a and h are the system
explicit parameters Q and R are measurement and
performance noise.
D.Modified MMSE Estimator
Modified MMSE estimators are studied widely to
reduce complexity . Among them, an optimal low-
rank MMSE (OLR-MMSE) estimator is proposed in
this paper, which combines the following three
simplification techniques:
1.The first simplification of MMSE estimator is to
replace the term (XX
H
)
-1
with
E{(XX
H
)
-1
}=E{1/|X
K
|
2
}
I
2.The second simplification is based on the low-rank
approximation. Most of the energy in is contained
in, or near, the first (L +1) taps, where and N is the
DFT size. Therefore, we can only consider the taps
with significant energy, that is, the upper left corner
of the autocovariance matrix . In the IEEE Std.
802.11 and IEEE Std. 802.16, is chosen among
{1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4}, so the effective size of matrix
is reduced dramatically after the low-rank
approximation is used.
3.The third simplification uses the singular value
decomposition (SVD). The SVD of is , where is a
unitary matrix containing the singular vectors and is
a diagonal matrix containing the singular values on
its diagonal

. The SVD also
dramatically reduces the calculation complexity of
matrices.
A. Comb-Type Pilot Channel Estimation
In comb-type pilot based channel estimation, for each
transmitted symbol, Np pilot signals are uniformly
inserted into X with S with subcarriers apart fromeach

At the data subcarriers (specified by H with length
N), given the LS estimates at pilot subcarriers ,
received signals Y, and maybe certain additional
knowledge of the channel statistics required for the
channel condition can be estimated.
IV. OVERLAPPING PILOTS EXAMPLE
The comb-type pilot schemes can eliminate this
variation, and therefore all OFDM data symbols
experience a similar error rate. Because the error
rate of the comb-type pilot schemes is higher than
the lowest error rate that can be achieved by the
block-type pilot schemes, the block-type pilot
schemes provide the opportunity to protect the data
with high importance/priority by transmitting them
at the positions where the error rate is low.
Therefore, comb-type pilot schemes are more
suitable for generic data transmission, while the

block-type pilot schemes are more suitable for
transmission over slow fading channels or
transmission with unequal error protection (UEP).
One of the time-frequency bins of the investigated
system, containing twenty subcarriers with six
symbols each. Known 4-QAM pilot symbols
(black) and 4-QAM control data symbols (rings) are
placed on four pilot subcarriers. The modulation
format for the other (payload) symbols is adjusted
adaptively. Each bin is allocated to one out of K
users. All payload symbols within a bin use the
same modulation format
The available uplink bandwidth within a sector
(cell) is assumed to be partitioned into time-
frequency bins of bandwidth fb and duration T.
We here assume T =0.667 ms and fb =200 kHz,
which is appropriate for stationary and vehicular
users in urban or suburban environments . We also
assume a subcarrier spacing of 10 kHz, a cyclical
prefix of duration 11 s and an OFDM symbol
period (including cyclic prefix) of Ts = 111s.
Thus, each bin of 0.667 ms 200 kHz contains 120
symbols, with 6 symbols of duration 111s on each
of the 20 10 kHz subcarriers. Of these 120 symbols,
four positions are booked for overlapping pilot
symbols, assumed to be 4-QAM symbols. Besides,
8 symbols are owed for regulate information, that
utilizes a fixed modulation (here assumed to be 4-
QAM), parting 108 payload symbols.
V. CONCLUSION
The purpose of this project was to give some
insight into power of the OFDM transmission
scheme. It has discussed not only the transmission
scheme itself, but also some of the problems that are
presented in mobile communications as well as the
techniques to correct them.
Digital communications is a rapidly growing
industry and Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing is on the forefront of this
technology.OFDM will prove to revolutionize
mobile communications by allowing it to be more
reliable and robust while maintaining the high data
rate that digital communication demands.
