Channel Estimation and Detection in FBMC/OQAM System with Affine Precoding and Decoding

Abstract

We derive the mathematical equations required for channel estimation and data detection of filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) systems with affine precoding and decoding. The mean square error (MSE) in least square (LS) channel estimation and bit error rate (BER) of the system is found for different training power coefficients. The proposed system gives better BER performance compared to other cutting edge FBMC systems. The optimum training power coefficient $(\sigma_{c_{opt}}^2)$ is also found from the simulation results. The band width efficiency of the system is also calculated.
