Orthogonal superimposed training design for block transmission over frequency-selective fading channels

Channel estimation for single-carrier block transmission over frequency-selective fading channel using superimposed training is addressed. A novel affine precoding model based on orthogonal polyphase sequence set is designed to decouple channel estimation from symbol detection. The orthogonal constraints on the training and precoding matrices ensure the separation of superimposed signals and accurate channel estimation with less training overheads as compared with time-multiplexed scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme exhibits good performance and outperforms another data-dependent superimposed training scheme, especially for compact constellations or channel with long delay-spread.
