Abstract

Various methods are available for channel estimation in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and orthogonal frequency and code division multiplexing (OFCDM) based wireless communication schemes. Along with this, the most utilized techniques are namely the minimum mean square error (MMSE) and least square (LS). The process of LS channel estimation method is simple but it occupies a very high mean square error. On the other hand, the performance of MMSE is better than LS in terms of SNR, though it shows high computational complexity. Compared to MMSE and LS based techniques, the combination of MMSE and LS techniques using evolutionary programming reduces the error significantly to receive exact signal. In this study, we propose a hybrid method namely GGWO that includes grey wolf optimization (GWO) and genetic algorithms (GA) for estimate the channel in MIMO–OFCDM schemes. At first, the best channel is estimated using GWO and afterwards, the MMSE and LS are hybridized through GA for calculating the best channel to decrease error. Overall, the GWO and GA contribute in fine tuning the obtained channel scheme so that the channel model is derived further to correlate with the ideal scheme. Our results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is superior to conventional MMSE and LS in terms of BER and SNR.
