INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION In this paper, improved channel estimation
methods based on the parametric channel approximation model using pilot tones are proposed for the OFDM system .
The full-rank MMSE estimator has large computational complexity , and in parametric channel estimator can only be adopted in sparse multi-path fading channels.
In order to solve these problems lying in with the channel models , a parametric model is proposed . This model is called
“fraction taps channel approximation(FTCA)” channel model .

ConclusionsConclusionsAs compared to the observed channel
model , its dimension reduced, where the full-rank estimators using pilots tones can be adopted, and consequently, improves the channel estimation performance .
It eliminates the problem of multi-path delay estimation and can be adopted in a channel not restricted to a sparse mlti-path fading.
