Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a non-data-aided (NDA) method to estimate the noise variance for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in frequency-selective channels. The proposed method is developed based on the signal correlation introduced by the use of the cyclic prefix (CP) and uses the difference between two discrete Fourier transform (DFT) outputs in the CP interval to estimate the noise variance. Analytical result shows that the obtained noise variance is an unbiased estimate in a quasi-static fading channel. Simulation results show that, even in the case in which the maximum delay spread is equal to the CP length and the channel is not quasi-static, the proposed method still works well.
