Introduction

• The major challenges for LTE terminal implementation are efficient channel estimation (CE) method as well as equalization.

• We are assuming the basic CE techniques and future direction for research in CE fields.

• General interference cancellation methods work in the frequency and time domain. The algorithms use in the time domain and is used methods named LMS, LMMSE and MLSE.

• Minimum LSE technique has been proposed for general MIMO-OFDM systems with pilot signal.

1.1 The Analysis of ICS Requirement for 3GPP/LTE

• This task includes following subtasks:• Applications and features of ICS repeater• Analysis of ICS requirement for 3GPP/LTE

• Repeater communication is one promising candidate solution in future cellular networks because of its ability to increase throughput, data rate and coverage.

• ICS repeater is one of the candidate technology in future 3GPP/LTE-A to increase capacity.

• Traditionally repeaters have been active continuously and perform blind forwarding without knowing the signal.

• However the repeater in LTE Advanced is likely to include some advanced functionalities such as: • frequency selectivity, • gain controllability, • multi antenna ability, • advanced antenna processing, • optimum power control algorithm, etc.

• The ICS Repeater is a new kind of single-band RF repeater that can automatically detect and cancel the interference signals caused by oscillation of RF feedback between the Donor and Coverage Antennas in real time by adopting DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology.

• It can continuously and stably cancel the interference signals and be adapted to any changes in the surrounding RF environment (including fixed and mobile objects).

1.2 Features of ICS Repeater

• High-speed, large dynamic A/D, D/A technology• The adaptive filter design based on the modern digital signal

processing technology • Real-time cancellation of interference signal (incl. multi-path

fading, feedback signal)• ICS function to prevent self-oscillation, enhance gain and

coverage range, and reduce isolation requirement between donor antenna and coverage antenna

• Highly selective digital channel selector • No interference to BTS by adopting linear amplifier with high

gain and low noise • Adopting filter with highly selectivity and low insertion loss

eliminates interference between uplink and downlink

2.1 Overview of IC• Successive and Parallel IC can be iteratively (iterative

IC) ,that is, after one iteration over all streams we can further improve the quality of the streams by cancelling the streams estimated in the first iteration.

2.2.1 Channel equalization

• There are three categories of equalization techniques. • Frequency-domain technique

• Frequency-domain technique, which applies the conventional equalization algorithm for single-carrier MIMO systems to each subcarrier, the design complexity is rather high, and the memory required to store the equalizer coefficients is large.

• Time–frequency domain technique• Time-domain technique

• A time-domain equalizer, which is designed using the second-order statistics (SOS) of the shifted received OFDM symbols, is applied to partially cancel the ICI and ISI.

2.2.2 Channel Estimation Techniques

• We proposed to study the performance of the two linear estimators under the effect of the channel length.

• Channel estimation algorithms can be generally separated into two methods, • Pilot-based channel estimation • Non-Pilot channel estimation.

• Adaptive channel estimation methods are typically used for rapidly time-varying channel.

• Channel estimation is used two-dimensional time and frequency domain structure of OFDM system.

2.6 IC algorithm using pilot signal

• For pilot based channel estimation of OFDM system, following three are required. • Firstly, suitable pilot pattern needs to be considered. • Secondly, pilot-based channel estimation algorithm

with low complexity should be identified. • Thirdly, proper demodulation method toward

effective channel estimation has to be developed

2.6.4 Comb-type pilot channel estimation

• Piecewise Constant Interpolation• Linear Interpolation• Second Order Interpolation• Cubic Spline Interpolation• These algorithms have very low complexities.

However, they are not precise enough or need some presumptions (e.g. the number of channel taps, the delay spread), which limit the application of these algorithms for LTE systems.

2.6.5 Block-type Channel Estimation

• LSE: Least Square Estimation• The goal of the channel least square estimator is to

minimize the square distance between the received signal and the original signal.

• LMMSE: Linear MMSE• the LMMSE estimator always needs some a priori

information of the channel, e.g. noise level and channel correlations.

2.6.6 Least Square (LS) Estimator

• The cost function of LS algorithm:

• The purpose of LS algorithm is to minimize the cost function J without noise. For the minimization of J, let

• The LS estimators are known by its very low complexity because they not need the statistic information of channel.

• The least square estimates (LS) of the channel at the pilot subcarriers given in bellow can be obtained by the following equation:

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORKS

• Finally, in this project the Minimum LSE equalization used to pilot system, that is mainly considered as proved by any works. It would be very interesting to extend the ideas of the polynomial approach and transceiver/repeater designs to new practical system based channel interference cancellation methods.
