Iterative scattered-based channel estimation method for OFDM/OQAM

This article deals with channel estimation (CE) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)/OQAM. After a brief presentation of the OFDM/OQAM modulation scheme, we present the CE problem in OFDM/OQAM. Indeed, OFDM/OQAM only provides real orthogonality therefore the CE technique used in cyclic prefix-OFDM cannot be applied in OFDM/OQAM context. However, some techniques based on imaginary interference cancelation have been used to perform CE in a scattered-based environment. After recalling the main idea of these techniques, we present an iterative CE technique. The purpose of this iterative method is to use the imaginary interference at the receiving side in order to improve CE.
