Walsh Coded Training Signal Aided Time Domain Channel Estimation Scheme In MIMO-OFDM Systems

In this paper, we propose a novel Walsh coded training signal design and Walsh decoding method to estimate the channel response in MIMO-OFDM systems. The Walsh coded training signals are designed to have orthogonal property in time domain. Using the orthogonal property, the Walsh decoding process makes it possible to separate the desired training signal from the received signal and to estimate the channel response. The computer simulation results show that the proposed method exhibits almost the same performance as Li's original method using the optimal training sequence, even though the proposed method has much lower complexity.
