Channel prediction of wideband OFDM systems in a millimeter-wave band based on multipath delay estimation

Abstract

Multi-user MIMO systems enable high capacity transmission. A base station, however, needs accurate channel state information (CSI). In time-varying environments, the CSI may be outdated at the actual transmission time. One of the solutions to this issue is channel prediction. The authors have proposed the prediction method using FISTA, a compressive sensing technique, for OFDM systems in a millimeter-wave band. Unfortunately, in realistic multipath environments, the prediction performance of the proposed technique degrades. In this letter, we examine the prediction performance in wider OFDM systems. It will be shown that FISTA reveals excellent performance in a sufficiently wide band case.
