Abstract

Multiple transmit and receive antennas (MIMO) have been used with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for capacity improvement in frequency-selective channels. In certain propagation environments, there exists spatial correlation among channels corresponding to different pairs of transmit and receive antennas. In this paper, we investigate training sequence design for channel estimation in MIMO-OFDM systems. We develop necessary conditions for a training sequence to minimize the mean-square error (MSE) of channel estimation when spatial correlation of MIMO channel is known to the transmitter and discuss training sequence design for some special cases. The performance improvement of the designed training sequences is confirmed by simulation examples
