In this paper, we propose a new technique for estimating the SI and communication channels in a FD communication system, which is inspired from superimposed signaling. In our proposed technique, we add a constant real number to each constellation point of a conventional modulation constellation to yield asymmetric shifted modulation constellations with respect to the origin. We show mathematically that such constellations can be used for bandwidth efficient channel estimation without ambiguity. We propose an expectation maximization (EM) estimator for use with the asymmetric shifted modulation constellations. We derive a closed-form lower bound for the mean square error (MSE) of the channel estimation error, which allows us to find the minimum shift energy needed for accurate channel estimation in a given FD communication system. The simulation results show that the proposed technique outperforms the data-aided channel estimation method, under the condition that the pilots use the same extra energy as the shift, both in terms of MSE of channel estimation error and bit error rate.

In this paper, we propose an improved joint estimation method for carrier frequency offset, sampling time offset, and channel impulse response, needed for the practical application of OFDM/OQAM. The proposed joint ML estimator instruments a pilot-based maximum-likelihood (ML) estimation of the unknown parameters, as derived under the assumptions of Gaussian noise and independent input symbols. The ML estimator formulation relies on the splitting of each received pilot symbol into contributions from surrounding pilot symbols, non-pilot symbols and additive noise. Within the ML framework, the Cramer-Rao bound on the covariance matrix of unbiased estimators of the joint parameter vector under consideration is derived as a performance benchmark. The proposed method is compared with a highly cited previous work.
