Subcarrier-Selectable Short Preamble for OFDM Channel Estimation in Real-Time Wireless Control Systems

抄録

<p>Real-time and reliable radio communication is essential for wireless control systems (WCS). In WCS, preambles create significant overhead and affect the real-time capability since payloads are typically small. To shorten the preamble transmission time in OFDM systems, previous works have considered adopting either time-direction extrapolation (TDE) or frequency-direction interpolation (FDI) for channel estimation which however result in poor performance in fast fading channels and frequency-selective fading channels, respectively. In this work, we propose a subcarrier-selectable short preamble (SSSP) by introducing selectability to subcarrier sampling patterns of a preamble such that it can provide full sampling coverage of all subcarriers with several preamble transmissions. In addition, we introduce adaptability to a channel estimation algorithm for the SSSP so that it conforms to both fast and frequency-selective channels. Simulation results validate the feasibility of the proposed method in terms of the reliability and real-time capability. In particular, the SSSP scheme shows its advantage in flexibility as it can provide a low error rate and short communication time in various channel conditions.</p>
