Joint channel and phase noise estimation in OFDM systems at very high speeds

Abstract In this paper, the problem of joint phase noise and channel estimation for OFDM systems over a fast time-varying frequency-selective channel is explored. Each channel tap time-variation within one OFDM symbol is approximated by a Basis Expansion Model (BEM). Joint estimation is performed on multiple OFDM symbols via the Extended Kalman Filtering in order to exploit the time-correlation of the parameters. The data symbols are estimated by means of an iterative pilot-based algorithm. It is shown that, with only 2 iterations, our algorithm outperforms the conventional one, and the performance approaches that of the ideal case for which the channel response and phase noise are known.
