Abstract

Maximum-likelihood based channel estimation is considered for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems in dispersive time-varying channels. A successive overrelaxation approach is adopted to analyze the convergence rate of an iterative channel estimation algorithm. Based on the analysis, an improved fast converging iterative channel estimation algorithm is proposed. Numerical tests are performed to show the improvement of the proposed algorithm over a recently proposed channel estimation algorithm.
