Therefore,, for OFDM symbol l, the locational Resource Unit of subcarrier k, can obtain time domain and estimate that mode is as follows:
In formula (6), M represents the reference signal resource unit number of each time domain estimated service life, represent the time domain channel estimated result on symbol l, subcarrier k, α irepresent time domain estimation coefficient, represent each selected reference signal time domain subscript of estimating.
The invention provides a kind of channel estimation methods based on time domain sliding window, as an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, comprising:
Step 301, adopt sliding window to load reference signal symbol frequency domain estimated value in time domain;
Describedly adopt sliding window to refer to that sliding window slides in time domain in time domain, wherein, described sliding window is long is M, and M span is 3 ~ 4, and sliding step is N, and the span of N is that N is 1 ~ M.
Described sliding window length refers to and can be used for the adjacent reference signal symbolic number that time domain is estimated, illustrate, as shown in Figure 2, OFDM symbol 0,4,7,11,14,18(shadow positions) comprise reference signal, if selecting sliding window length is 4, available continuous 4 reference signals, 0,4,7,11 symbols carry out interpolation to other sign resources unit of 0 ~ 11 of OFDM symbol.
Step 302, calculate time domain estimation coefficient corresponding to each subcarrier on OFDM character position according to sliding window internal reference signals symbol frequency domain estimated value;
Described according to time domain estimation coefficient corresponding to each subcarrier on reference signal symbol frequency domain estimated value calculating OFDM character position, can adopt in one of mode:
Mode one, employing multinomial criterion generate coefficient
The interpolation formula that multinomial criterion provides is as follows:
Wherein polynomial interpolation coefficient producing method is as follows, obtains according to the time interval of adjacent 3 reference signal symbols:
α 0 = a ( a - 1 ) 2 α 1 = - ( a - 1 ) ( a + 1 ) α 2 = a ( a + 1 ) 2 - - - ( 7 )
Wherein, a represents data symbol and the intersymbol time interval of reference signal; α 0, α 1, α 2represent 3 adjacent polynomial interpolation coefficients that reference signal symbol is corresponding in time domain.
