Power allocation for OFDM system in a high-speed train environment
Zhichao Sheng, Hoang Duong Tuan, Yong Fang · 2015
This paper considers power allocation between data and pilot symbols for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in a high-speed train (HST) environment. The channel gains are very quickly time-varying within an OFDM symbol so both their estimation and symbol detection must be simultaneously implemented with unavoidable inter-carrier interferences. The average channel complex gains are estimated and are used to calculate the basis expansion model (BEM) coefficients of the HST channel in data detection. We choose the effective signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) in symbol detection as the cost function and propose the effective algorithm to maximize it. The simulation results confirm the viability of our proposed algorithm.
