Abstract

With equipping multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver ends, the signals in the wireless OFDM systems could be transmitted over multipath fading channels for achieving benefits and high flexibility. In this paper, we focus on MIMO-OFDM systems that simultaneously perform channel estimation in order to combat additive noise, and multipath fading. The performance improvement is confirmed by simulations. Results show that the proposed MIMOOFDM scheme is quite robust in practical environments.
