On-line Bayesian Cramer-Rao Bounds for OFDM slowly varying rayleigh multi-path channel estimation

Abstract

The on-line Bayesian Cramer-Rao (BCRB) lower bound for the dynamic estimation of a time-varying multi-path Rayleigh channel in 4-QAM OFDM system is considered. In case of negligible channel variation within one symbol and delay related information, true BCRB for data-aided (DA) context, and two closed-form expressions for non-data aided (NDA) context are derived.
