Abstract

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, basis expansion model (BEM) has been commonly used because of the significant variation of doubly-selective channels. In such a model, the channel taps are estimated by linear combinations of prescribed basis function. We propose a method of making better use of discrete prolate spheroidal sequence, also called Slepian sequence with an optimized parameter in a mathematical relationship with Doppler shift, and then using inverse reconstruction method to recover the BEM coefficients of the channel taps. Simulation results have confirmed the validity of this improvement and also proved an enhanced use of Slepian sequence than other basis functions in high mobility environments.
