Adaptive channel estimation using cyclic prefix in multicarrier modulation system

Abstract
Multicarrier modulation (MCM) is a promising technique for high rate data transmission and the channel estimation is very important for the implementation of MCM. We found that the cyclic prefix, originally used solely to reduce the intersymbol interference (ISI), can be viewed as a source of channel information. Based on this observation, we propose an adaptive channel estimation algorithm using the cyclic prefix. This algorithm can adaptively track the channel variation without additional training sequences.
