This paper proposes time division multiplexing (TDM) based reference signal (RS) multiplexing for faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).We also propose a subframe structure in which a cyclic prefix (CP) is appended to only the TDM based RS block and the first FTN symbol to achieve accurate estimation of the channel response in a multipath fading channel with low CP overhead. Computer simulation results show that the loss in the required average received SNR satisfying the average block error rate (BLER) of 10-2 using the proposed TDM based RS multiplexing from that with ideal channel estimation is suppressed to within approximately 1.2 dB and 1.7 dB for QPSK and 16QAM, respectively. This is compared to when the improvement ratio of the spectral efficiency from CP-OFDM is 1.31 with the rate-1/2 turbo code. We conclude that the TDM based RS multiplexing with the associated CP multiplexing is effective in achieving accurate channel estimation for FTN signaling using OFDM.
