The paucity of pilot signals in Massive MIMO system is a vital issue. To accommodate substantial number of users, pilot signals are reused. This leads to interference, resulting in pilot contamination and degrades channel estimation at the Base Station (BS). Hence, mitigation of pilot contamination is exigency in Massive MIMO system. The proposed Time Shifted Pilot Signal Transmission with Pilot signal Hopping (TSPTPH), addresses the pilot contamination issue by transmitting pilot signals in non-overlapping time interval with hopping of pilot signals in each transmission slot. Hopping is carried by switching user to new a pilot signal in each transmission slot, resulting in random change of interfering users. This contributes to the change in channel coefficient, which leads to improved channel estimation at the BS and therefore enhances the efficiency of Massive MIMO system. In this system, Uplink Signal Power to Interference plus Noise Power Ratio (SINR) and data-rate are calculated for pilot signal reuse factor 1 and 3, by estimating the channel with Least Square estimation. The proposed system also reduces the uplink Signal power for data transmission of each User Equipment for normalized spectral efficiency with rising number of antennas at the BS and thus improves battery life.

OFDMA is considered as one of the major candidates for broadband wireless access. The OFDMA signal is usually coherently demodulated, requiring the channel estimation which can be estimated using a known pilot signal. In multi-cell environment, the performance of channel estimation is mainly limited by intercell interference. It is desirable to use a pilot signal that can estimate the channel information robust to the intercell interference in the OFDMA uplink system. In this paper, we consider two types of pilot signal applicable to multi-cell OFDMA uplink systems: One is time-multiplexed pilot signal and the other is code­multiplexed pilot signal. Simulation results show that the code-multiplexed pilot is suitable for low mobility environment and time-multiplexed pilot is suitable for high mobility environment.

In this paper a sequence estimator of CDMA communication system is suggested. A sequence estimator uses Galois Field operation. A sequence estimator can provide another CDMA pilot signal which is un-modulated spreaded signal. A estimated sequence signal and received signal have no correlation. Tow signals can be summed using MRC(maximal ratio combine) method. The stronger signal can be added as a larger ratio, but the weaker signal can be added as a smaller ratio. We can distinguish strong signal using SNR estimator. Therefore it is possible to receive an additional pilot signal, and to support more reliable communications by using sequence estimator.

In a wireless mobile communication system, a pilot signal has been considered to be a necessary signal for estimating a changing channel between a base station and a terminal. All mobile communication systems developed so far have a specification for transmitting pilot signals. However, although the pilot signal transmission is easy to estimate the channel,(Ed: unclear wording: it is easy to use the pilot signal transmission to estimate the channel?) it should be minimized because it uses radio resources for data transmission. In this paper, we propose a pilotless channel estimation scheme (PCE) by introducing the clustering method of unsupervised learning used in our deep learning into channel estimation.(Ed: highlight- unclear) The PCE estimates the channel using only the data symbols without using the pilot signal at all. Also, to apply PCE to a real system, we evaluated the performance of PCE based on the resource block (RB), which is a resource allocation unit used in LTE. According to the results of this study, the PCE always provides a better mean square error (MSE) performance than the least square estimator using pilots, although it does not use the pilot signal at all. The MSE performance of the PCE is affected by the number of data symbols used and the frequency selectivity of the channel. In this paper, we provide simulation results considering various effects(Ed: unclear, clarify).

In Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access(DS/CDMA) communication systems, it is important to contraol the power of reverse link channel evenly for overall channel capacity. To control the reverse link powers efficiently, it is necessary to estimate signal quality of each reverse link channel. In this paper, we discuss a method to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) for each channel by measuring the powers of pilot and noises. Computer simulations are done to show the effectiveness of the scheme.

This paper suggests novel signal processing methods for optimal beamforming of smart antenna system in CDMA2000 mobile communication environments. This method utilize characteristics of the reverse pilot channel of CDMA2000 mobile communication systems, and applies them to improve the performance of an adaptive algorithm, which is used to a smart antenna system for beamforming. To perform the best beamforming, it is important to get an exact beamforming algorithm. This paper proposed an algorithm based on Laglange multiplier which has such an adaptive process, and also proposed the method to demodulate the received signal through array antenna using pilot channel in CDMA2000 environment. This paper analysed the enhanced performance of proposed algorithm in various signal environment through signal modeling of physical layer in CDMA2000 reverse link.

This paper proposes an efficient adaptive echo canceller using pilot filter approach to achieve improved convergence speed. The pilot filter is an adaptive filter with only a few filter coefficients to filter the received signal for the purpose of whitening the signal. Thus the convergence speed of the main LMS-TDL filter combined with the pilot filter is improved. In the proposed echo canceller, an adaptive lattice predictor as the pilot filter is used and its inverse filter is used to equalize the distorted near end talker signal. Simulation results for colored signal show that the convergence speed of the proposed echo cancellation algorithm is faster than that of the conventional LMS-TDL echo cancellation algorithm.

본 논문에서는 직접대역 확산 통신 기법을 사용하는 이동통신 시스템에서 하향링크상의 무선신호를 이용하여 오버헤드 채널상의 정보를 취득하고 이 정보를 이용하여 파일롯 채널을 생성함으로써 기지국 간 하드핸드오프를 가능하게 하는 적응형 파일롯 비콘 장치를 제안한다. 본 적응형 파일롯 비콘 장치는 무선 신호 중에서 파일롯 채널 만을 선별하여 생성 및 전송하므로 상대적으로 낮은 전력으로 서비스가 가능하며, CDMA 수신부에서 하향링크상의 파일롯 채널로부터 기지국의 시간동기 및 주파수 동기를 획득하여 장치의 오프셋을 보정하므로 GPS에 의한 시간동기가 필요하지 않으며 기지국 순방향 신호의 수신이 가능한 임의의 장소에 설치가 가능한 장점이 있다. CDMA수신기에서 하향링크 파일롯 신호를 탐색하는 파일롯 서처는 FPGA와 DSP를 이용하며, FPGA에서 구현된 파일롯 서처는 초기동기 획득용으로 사용되곤 DSP에서 구현되는 파일롯 서처는 비콘장치의 클럭과 기지국 장치의 클럭사이에 발생하는 오프셋 오차를 보정하는 역할을 수행한다. 적응형 파일롯 비콘 장치의 CDMA 송신부는 CDMA 수신부에서 취득한 파일롯 채널의 시간정보인 타임오프???V을 이용하여, 기지국에 동기된 하향링크 파일롯 신호를 생성한다.

본 논문에서는 밀리미터파를 활용한 이동무선백홀에서 상향링크의 파일럿 신호 구조를 제안하였다. Zadoff-Chu 시퀀스를 이용하여 생성된 파일럿 신호는 두 개의 안테나 포트에 대한 송신 다이버시티를 위하여 주파수 축 상에서 교차 매핑 또는 연속 매핑되는 구조가 가능하며, 파일럿 신호의 매핑 방법에 따라 채널 추정 알고리즘이 달라진다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 지하철 환경을 가정한 레일리 페이딩 채널에서 성능을 분석한 결과, 교차 매핑 방법이 연속 매핑 방법에 비해 채널 추정의 성능 열화가 없었고 이 방법을 사용하여 상향링크 채널 추정기의 구현 복잡 도를 줄일 수 있었다.

인접 기지국의 송신 신호는 단말기에서 볼 때 간섭 신호로 작용한다. 이러한 간섭 신호로 인하여 순방향 링크 용량이 줄어든다. 인접 기지국의 파일럿 간섭 신호를 제거함으로써 BER 성능을 개선할 수 있으며 순방향 링크 용량을 개선할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 순방향 링크 용량을 개선할 수 있도록 인접 기지국에서 송신하는 파일럿 간섭 신호를 제거할 수 있는 복조기 구조를 제안하였다. 모의 실험 결과 인접 기지국의 파일럿 간섭 신호를 제거할 때 BER = 10-2를 얻기 위한 Eb/No 값이 간섭신호를 제거하지 않을 때에 비하여 3㏈ 감소하였다.
