Abstract

For the channel estimation, a large pilot overhead is required due to the imaginary interference in filter-bank multicarrier employing offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM) systems. In this paper, we address the pilot reduction and present a short preamble for the classical interference approximation method (IAM). Compared with the conventional preamble consisting of 3 columns symbols, the pilot overhead is equivalent to 2 column symbols in the proposed preamble. It is proven that there exists no performance loss in the proposed preamble at a significantly reduced pilot overhead. To verify the proposed preamble, numerical simulations are carried out with respect to bit error ratio and mean square error.
