In this paper, the problem of estimating multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels in a realistic environment involving correlated channel fading and multiuser interference is considered. Four estimation schemes are studied, including the linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE), least squares (LS), and Gauss-Markov (GM) estimators, as well as a novel scheme which is derived here as an alternative to LMMSE estimation. The MSE-optimal training sequences for each of them are provided and their requirements for side information feedback are assessed. The new scheme is shown to exhibit a performance comparable to or even better than LMMSE, at a significantly lower feedback and computational cost. The analytical comparison of the estimation schemes is supported by numerous simulation results that cover a wide range of antenna configurations, relative interference power, and channel correlation strengths. The results of this paper provide a complete picture for a palette of estimation schemes, with their relative performance and costs of training.
