Channel Estimation for Wireless Communication Systems

The issue of channel estimation in wireless communication systems is very crucial for coherent detection of the transmitted signal at the receiver end of the systems.Different techniques have been proposed in many books in a bid to obtain near-optimum channel state information for wireless communication systems. In this book, these techniques are reviewed and efficient channel estimation techniques for employment in Single Input Single Output (SISO) wireless communication systems, Single Input Single Output - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (SISO-OFDM) Systems and Multiple Input Multiple Output - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems are proposed. The review of various channel estimation techniques and the proposed techniques presented in this book should be of great interest to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the general field of telecommunication engineering systems. The professional engineers in the field of telecommunication engineering will also find this book useful in designing new communication equipments for wireless communication systems.
