Channel Estimation Algorithms For OFDM Systems

This document discusses and compares different channel estimation algorithms for OFDM systems, including Least Square (LS), Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE), Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE), and Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost). It notes that accurate channel estimation is important for OFDM system performance. Common channel estimation methods assume a slow fading channel where the transfer function is stationary within a data block, but the channel may actually change significantly within a block for wideband mobile channels. Pilot-based estimation is thus preferable. Recent research has explored various channel estimation techniques in both the time and frequency domains.

D. AdaBoost
Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of
any given learning algorithm. AdaBoost was originally defined
for two class problems but it can be extended boosting to
multi-class and regression problems. The AdaBoost algorithm,
introduced in 1995 by Freund and Schapire, solved many of
the practical problems of the earlier boosting algorithms [20].
The AdaBoost algorithm for multiclass problem is described
as below.
Suppose we are given a set of training data
(x1 , c1 ), (x2 , c2 ), . . . , (xn , cn ), where the input (prediction
variable) xi ∈ Rp and the output (response variable)
