  2. Abstract • We present the Mid-amble based approach for the channel estimation and its performance analysis of OFDM signal in high mobility vehicular radio channel. WAVE system experiences outdoor time-variant and frequency- selective fading channel. It means that channel coefficients will change with time in the vehicular environment due to relative motions between vehicles. • The training symbol is assigned to a particular OFDM symbol, which is sent periodically in time domain. Mid-amble simply reuses the long training sequence of preamble. The number of data symbols between two Mid-ambles is varied. • The preamble is used for packet detection and channel estimation. But time-variant channel due to the user mobility may cause some errors in the progress of compensation. If tracking of the time-varying channels and updating of the channel estimation are not provided, the performance can be degraded dramatically. • Proposed scheme utilizes the preamble to the initial channel estimation and the Mid-amble to update the channel coefficients for the next symbol until a new Mid-amble is received.

  4. Objectives • Time-variant character of channel in WAVE(IEEE 802.11p). • Channel coherence time ,which is the maximum packet length duration without being distorted during the transmission.* • In IEEE 802.11p, the maximum information data size transferred from MAC layer is about 4000 bytes. • Current training sequences, at beginning of each packet, are not sufficient to estimate the channel correctly for a long packet. **fd : Doppler spread ex) velocity v = 200km/h, carrier frequency fc = 5.9GHz : fd = 1kHz => Tc = 423μs * T.S.Rappaport, Wireless Communications: Principle and Practice, Chs.5, Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1996.

  5. Approaches The time-varying channel creates the different channel condition between the preamble and the behind of the transmission packet. In the case of long-sized packet transmission, preamble based if channel estimation may occur critical errors. So, tracking the time-varying channel and updating the channel estimation are needed. We propose midamble aided transmission scheme for WAVE. Hanbyeog Cho (ETRI) Slide 5

  6. Channel estimation Recovers data which is corrupted by channel. The channel frequency response (CFR) is calculated by using the known training sequences or pilot signals. yn= xn * hn + wn Y(k) = FFT(yn ) Y(k) = X(k)H(k) + W(k), 0≤ k ≤ N-1 yn : received signal xn: transmit signal hn: channel impulse response wn :AWGN N : FFT length : Channel frequency response Hanbyeog Cho (ETRI) Slide 6

  7. Channel estimation • Conventional method(only preamble) • channel estimated by preamble at the beginning of the packet. • it compensates every data symbol in a packet.

  14. Conclusions • We proposed a new frame structure for long packet size transmission. • Conventional scheme is not sufficient to estimate the channel correctly for a long packet. • The proposed scheme improves the performance in comparison with conventional schemes under high mobility environment. • We concluded that the midamble aided transmission scheme suitable solution to support WAVE system.
