Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and a method of estimating a channel in consideration of a residual synchronization offset. The apparatus of estimating a channel in consideration of a residual synchronization offset includes: a channel estimating unit estimating the channel using pilots scattered over a plurality of OFDM symbols and calculating a first channel estimated value as the estimation result, in the case in which an OFDM symbol estimating the channel and an OFDM symbol compensating for the channel are different from each other; and a phase reflecting unit calculating a phase generated by the residual synchronization offset in proportion to a difference between a channel estimation time and a channel compensation time, reflecting the calculated phase in the first channel estimated value, and calculating a second channel estimated value as the reflection result.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of generating a pilot pattern capable of perform adaptive channel estimation, and a method and apparatus of a base station and a method and apparatus of a terminal using the pilot pattern.The pilot pattern selects pilot symbol positions based on distances from pilots of previous orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbols to a subcarrier position of a current OFDMA symbol in the frequency domain and the time domain, so that a low pilot density is maintained so as to effectively transmit data, and stable channel estimation performance can be obtained even in a bad channel environment.In addition, the minimum burst allocation size is determined according to the channel environment between the base station and the terminal, guaranteeing channel estimation performance suitable for the channel environment, and improving granularity, channel estimation latency, and channel estimation memory size.
