Improved performance bounds for iterative IC LMMSE channel estimator with SI pilots

Abstract

In this paper an iterative, interference cancelling receive structure for single carrier transmission using superimposed training is studied. We derive the analytical MSE limits for LMMSE channel estimator using perfect channel knowledge and show that the simulated values follow well the analytical ones. Then, we utilise these results to analyse the MSE performance of a combined ML-LMMSE chanel estimator structure, where the initial channel estimates are obtained from the ML channel estimator
