Abstract

This paper proposes a novel fuzzy channel estimator for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access systems with time-varying multipath fading channels under impulsive noise. The proposed estimator combines a least-squares channel estimator with a fuzzy median filter which is based on fuzzy rank ordering of samples. Simulation results clearly show the superior channel estimation success of the proposed estimator under highly impulsive noise.
