Wherein,Be formula (4) in an OS as a result, wiIt is the Wiener filter factor, i depends on system bandwidth.
In conjunction with reference to Fig. 3 it is found that formula (11) executes before Fourier transformation FFT.But those skilled in the art can be with Understand, which can be calculate by the following formula with being carried out after FFT:
WhereinBut in formula (11),Only include a elements of L ', andIncluding N number of element, N It is the number of LTE system sub-carriers, this is much larger than L '.Therefore computation complexity can be reduced using formula (11).
Fig. 4 shows the flow chart of the method for MMSE channel estimations according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.This method 400 Start from step S401.
Step S410 obtains the LS channel estimation results of the frequency domain of reference signal RS

Step S430 selects nonzero path L ' from all path L of multipath.The step realizes matrix size from L × L It is reduced to L ' × L ', to considerably reduceThe calculation amount inverted.According to an embodiment of the invention, the step Suddenly it preferably includes:It determines the threshold value of the path energy in multipath, and the non-zero more than the threshold value is found based on the threshold value Path L '.The threshold value can be for example calculated by above formula (5)-(6).
Step S440 calculates the matrix under nonzero path L 'Wherein σ2It is noise power;Rh'h'It is Corresponding to the correlation matrix of the time domain channel of nonzero path.For matrix thereinThe present invention is preferably by only protecting It depositsThe first column element and construct to obtain according to the row and column corresponding to nonzero path position.This reduce matrixes Memory space.
Step S450 calculates the channel estimation of time domainBy above-mentioned steps The optimization processing of S420-S440, the application can rapidly realize the time domain channel estimation of step S450.
Step S460 calculates influence of the path offset to channel estimation under nonzero path.The step is for considering path Deviate the influence to MMSE channel estimations.As previously mentioned, the application confirms that no matter which kind of RS is deviated by proving, can use Identical method executes the time domain channel estimation of MMSE, and then execution route deviates.
Step S480 will be computed the channel estimation Fourier transformation of the time domain for diameter bias effect of passing by one's way into the letter of frequency domain Estimate in road.
Although step S480 can be carried out directly, as previously mentioned, the present invention can also preferably first carry out step S470, The Wiener filtering of time domain is first carried out, then executes step S480 again, by the channel estimation Fourier transformation of time domain at frequency domain Channel estimation.The meaning for executing step S470 is more accurately obtain channel estimation.
