ABSTRACT
This paper simulates and investigates the performance of four widely-used channel estimation techniques
for MIMO-OFDM wireless communication systems; namely, super imposed pilot (SIP), comb-type, space-
time block coding (STBC), and space-frequency block coding (SFBC) techniques. The performance is
evaluated through a number of MATLab simulations, where the bit-error rate (BER) and the mean square
error (MSE) are estimated and compared for different levels of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The simulation
results demonstrate that the comb-type channel estimation and the SIP techniques overwhelmed the
performance of the STFC and STBC techniques in terms of both bit-error rate (BER) and mean square
error (MSE).

1. INTRODUCTION
One of the most challenging topics in today wireless communication systems is how to
accomplish high data transmission rate and maintain satisfactory quality-of-service (QoS) that can
meet the exponentially growing users and applications demands. This is a challenging topic
because of the limited spectrum and the channel fading caused by multipath components in the
wireless channel. One of the promising solutions to this problem is to combine the concepts of
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM); which led to the emergent of the new MIMO-OFDM wireless communication systems
[1, 2].
The MIMO technology implies the use of multiple antennas at the transmitter and the receiver
sides of the wireless link, which significantly increases the data transmission rates [3]. OFDM
implies a multicarrier transmission and frequency division multiplexing, where a single data
stream is transmitted over several low rate subcarriers, placed orthogonal to each other to provide
high data transmission rate with minimum error, and enough robustness to radio channel
impairments. Practically, the transmitted signals of MIMO-OFDM systems benefit from the
multi-path delay tolerance and immunity to frequency selective channel fading of MIMO, as well
as the high data transmission rate of OFDM[4, 5].
Channel estimation is one of the main requirements of MIMO-OFDM systems. Therefore, a
number of channels estimation techniques for MIMO-OFDM systems have been developed [6-
8].In order to be able to select between these techniques, it is necessary to investigate their
performance in different working environments. Computer simulation is well-recognized as the
most feasible solution as practical investigations are complicated, costly, and time consuming
[9,10].

This paper simulates and investigates the performance of four different channel estimation
techniques for MIMO-OFDM systems; these are: super imposed pilot (SIP) [11], comb-type [12],
space-time block coding (STBC) [13], and space-frequency block coding (SFBC) [14]
techniques. The performance is evaluated through a number of MATLab simulations, where the
bit-error rate (BER) and the mean square error (MSE) are estimated and compared for different
levels of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) [5]. The simulation results demonstrate that the comb-type
and SIP provides better performance in terms of both BER and MSE over the STBC and SFBC
especially with SNR.
The paper is divided into 6 sections. This section presents the main theme of the paper. A review
of some of the most recent and related works on simulation and investigation of the performance
of MIMO-OFDM systems, using MATLab, are given in Section 2.Section 3 explains the basic
principles of MIMO-OFDM and the main concepts of the pilot-based channel estimation
techniques studied in this paper. The simulated MIMO-OFDM system model is described in
Section 4. The results and discussions are given in Section 5. Finally, in Section6 some
conclusions are presented and a number of recommendations for future are pointed-out.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
This section presents a review of some of the most recent development and performance
evaluation of MIMO-OFDM systems using MATLab [1, 9].
Chourasiya and Saraf [6] investigated the effect of different modulation techniques (e.g., BPSK,
QPSK, 16 PSK and 16 QAM)on the BER performance of a 2x2 MIMO-OFDM system using
MATLab. Their results conclude that for the same SNR, the BER of BPSK is lower than QPSK,
16 PSK and 16 QAM.Similarly, using MATLab,Sharma and Kaur [7] and Jangalwa [15] showed
that MIMO-OFDM can provide better BER performance than OFDM systems. Katgi [8]
investigated the effect of the multi-antenna combination (e.g., 2×1, 2×2, 4×1 and 4×2), and
modulation technique (e.g., BPSK and QPSK) on the performance of MIMO-OFDM systems.
Rashid and Hossain [16] used MATLab to investigate the performance of MIMO-OFDM
systemsin5G networks, with the aim of achieving the lowest and optimum BER while increasing
the system capacity. Shrivastava and Trivedi [14] implemented and analyzed the performance of
MIMO–OFDM system using space-time-frequency (STF) coding and random beam forming
using MATLab. They found that combining beam forming with STF coding provides lower BER
over STF alone, as well as the combined STBC-beam forming.
Achra et. al. [3] discussed and analyzed the BER performance of MIMO-OFDM system with two
different equalizers (ZF and MMSE) for various modulation techniques (e.g., BPSK, QPSK, 16-
QAM, and 64-QAM) using multipath fading channels, namely, additive white Gaussian noise
(AWGN) and Rayleigh and Rician channels. The simulation results show that MMSE equalizer
achieves a lower BER than ZF for various SNR. Similar study by Pandey et. al. [17] analyzed the
performance of a QPSK modulation MIMO-OFDM system with AWGN, Rayleigh, and Rician
channels. They demonstrated that MIMO-OFDM with STBC using 2x2 antenna configurations
and 512 FFT length has better performance in terms of BER than the other systems.
Sethy and Swain [18] found that for different fading channel, MIMO achieves full diversity using
OSTBC encoder to overcome fading effect of channel, and OFDM reduces inter symbol
interference (ISI) for higher data rate and higher spectral efficiency. Based on the simulation
results, the BER performance of MIMO system is better than that of MIMO-OFDM system, but
MIMO-OFDM system is spectrally more efficient.

Reddy and Lakshmi [19] explored how MIMO increases channel capacity using a spatial
modulation technique that combines the high multiplexing gain provided by the spatial
modulation and transmit-diversity gain provided by the STBC technology. They explored two
different STBC schemes (Alamouti’s STBC and orthogonal STBC). The two schemes
demonstrate higher data rate or longer transmit range without requiring additional bandwidth or
transmit power.
Pathak and Sharma [20] investigated and compared the performance of two major types of pilot
arrangement such as block-type and comb-type pilot, using the least square error (LSE) and
minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimators. Patil and Jadhav [21] compared the
performance of channel estimation algorithm and highlighted the channel estimation technique
based on pilot-aided block-type training symbols using LS and MMSE algorithm.
Jain and Nandal [22] analyzed and compared the performance of channel estimation of MIMO
communication systems using STBC, SFBC, and STFBC techniques under various fading
channels. The performance is evaluated through a number simulations using MATLab. Daoud et.
al [23] developed a new algorithm to enhance the performance of the speaker verification over the
communication systems based MIMO-OFDM techniques.
In conclusion, the major advantages of MIMO-OFDM systems are: (i) substantial increase in
channel capacity, which immediately translates to higher data throughput, (ii) significant
improvement in data transmission reliability, i.e., very low bit error rate (BER). These advantages
can be achieved without any expansion in the required bandwidth or increase in the transmit
power.
3. PILOT-BASED CHANNEL ESTIMATION TECHNIQUES
High spectral efficiency and improved link reliability are two of the major challenges in wireless
communications systems. The wireless channel constitutes a hostile propagation medium, which
suffers from the addition of destructive multipath components (fading) and interference from
other users. Diversity provides the receiver with several replicas of the transmitted signal and is
therefore a powerful approach to alleviate fading and interference and thereby improve link
reliability and channel capacity [1].
The use of spatial (or antenna) diversity has become very popular in recent years, which is mostly
due to the fact that it can be easily implemented introducing any loss in spectral efficiency.
Antenna diversity can be implemented at the receiving and transmitting sides. The use of multiple
antennas at both ends of a wireless link (MIMO) has a great potential of achieving extraordinary
data rates. On the other hand, OFDM can significantly reduce receiver complexity in wireless
systems. Thus, combining MIMO with OFDM technologies to develop what is referred to as
MIMO-OFDM system seems to be an attractive solution for future wireless systems [2].
Channel estimation in MIMO-OFDM systems is more complicated in comparison to that in
single-input single-output OFDM (SISO-OFDM) systems [25]. Therefore, the techniques that are
used in SISO-OFDM cannot be simply extended and used in MIMO-OFDM, because the
superposition of signals from multiple transmits antennas makes decoupling pilot signals more
complicated.
There are a number of pilot-based channel estimation techniques that have been developed for
MIMO-OFDM systems over quasi-static channel [6, 18, 19]. This section discusses four of them,
namely: SIP, comb-type, STBC, and SFBC channel estimation techniques.

4
3.1. SIP Channel Estimation Technique
SIP channel estimation is not a straightforward approach compared to the following three
schemes, which is inflexible in the pilot allocation and difficult to extend to the arbitrary number
of transmit antennas. It has been recognized that SIP can save the subcarriers occupied by the
pilots as depicted in Figure 1. In other words, this method estimates the MIMO-OFDM channel
without employing additional pilots in the frequency domain, which improves the spectral
efficiency. Thus, the main advantages of this SIP based channel estimation are: high spectral
efficiency, low complexity, and no prior knowledge about channels and noise required.
Description of the SIP based channel estimation technique can be found in [11, 26].
3.2. Comb-Type Channel Estimation Technique
The comb-type channel estimation for MIMO-OFDM systems is similar to these techniques
employed in a single antenna scenario, due to the comb structure in the frequency and space
domain. The diagram of such pilot allocation is shown in Figure2, which eliminates the effects of
inter-antenna interference using additional null subcarriers. Hence, the SISO techniques can be
extended to MIMO-OFDM systems, because the pilot pattern for each pair of transmit and
receive antenna is similar to that of SISO-OFDM systems [12, 25].
Furthermore, the positions of pilots can be readily placed in the frequency and space domain as
compared to SIP allocation. However, the comb-type channel estimation over very frequency
selective channels requires more pilots in the sense that the more null subcarrier are employed,
which reduces the spectral efficiency.
3.3. STBC Channel Estimation Technique
STBC is a technique used in wireless communication to transmit multiple copies of a data stream
across a number of antennas, to exploit the various received versions of data to improve the
reliability of data transfer. STBC has emerged as one of the major techniques to exploit the
MIMO benefit. Both spatial and temporal diversities are achieved in STBC, also it offers simple
decoding with the use of maximum likelihood detection algorithm at the receiver [13].
STBC can be used in the channel estimation for MIMO-OFDM systems with the assumption that
the channels remain constant in the time or frequency domain during several OFDM symbols.
The assumption may not be practical in some scenarios, and the performance will be significantly
affected if the channels become more selective [14].

3.4. SFBC Channel Estimation Technique
SFBC is the same as STBC is a technique used in wireless communications to transmit multiple
copies of a data stream across a number of antennas and to exploit the various received versions
of the data to improve the reliability of data transfer. SFBC involves coding across space and
frequency, which is often referred to as space-frequency coding (SFC) [14]. A way to do SFC is
to take the space-time codes (STC) (e.g., Alamouti code), and apply them in the frequency
dimension instead of time dimension. That is, instead of mounting the space-time coded symbols
on multiple time slots, they are mounted on multiple OFDM subcarriers. SFBC is similar to
STBC it can be used in the channel estimation for MIMO-OFDM systems with the assumption
that the channels remain constant in the time or frequency domain during several OFDM
symbols.
4. MIMO-OFDM SYSTEM MODEL
The system model that is simulated and investigated is described as follows: An un-coded spatial
multiplexing MIMO-OFDM system with Ns subcarriers, Nt transmit and Nr receive antennas,
where Nt ≤ Nr, as shown in Figure3. In Figure (3, the modulated symbols from the modulators
(MOD) and pilots are inserted into data subcarriers and pilot subcarriers via pilot allocation. The
output of pilot allocation is then passed through inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) and
appended with cyclic prefix (CP) for transmission. At the receiver, the CP is removed and the
truncated received signals without CP are then passed through fast Fourier transform (FFT). The
pilots are used for channel estimation, and the detection is performed with the estimated channels.
The transmitted symbols are recovered through the demodulators (DEMOD) with the output of
detection.
5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
In order to compare the performance of the channel estimation techniques described in Section 3,
a number of simulations have been performed using MATLab. In these simulations, we consider
a 2×2 MIMO-OFDM system, number of subcarrier (Ns) is 128, number of pilots uniformly
distributed (Np) is 16, channel length (L) is 8, normalized Doppler frequency (fdTOFDM) is 10-2
, and
channel generation model is Jake’s model. For comb-type channel estimation, 8 pilots and 8 null
subcarriers are employed for fair comparison.
The performance is evaluated in terms of two widely-used performance measures; these are: the
bit-error rate (BER) and the square mean error (MSE). BER is the number of bits that are
erroneously received or altered (due to noise, interference, distortion or bit synchronization)
divided by the total number of bits transmitted over the channel for a certain period of time. MSE
is the average of the square of the error. The BER and MSE are investigated against an interesting
input parameter, namely, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is defined as the ratio of signal
power to the noise power. Often it is expressed in decibels and calculated by dividing the value of
the main signal by the value of the noise, take the common logarithm of the result, and then
multiply the result by 20 [5].
The BER and MSE performance are given in Figs. (4) and (5), respectively. In general, it can be
seen from Figure 4 that the BER performance decreases with increasing SNR for all techniques.
All techniques provides almost the same BER up to SNR=5 dB. For SNR>5 dB, SIP and comb-
type maintain almost the same BER, where both performs better than STBC and SFBC as they
accomplish less BER. While the STBC provides the worst performance as it accomplishes the
highest BER, and the BER performance is worsen with increasing SNR. The SFBC almost

6
provides a moderate BER performance between the SIP and comb-type and the STBC. The BER
performance of comb-type channel estimation is slightly better than that of SIP.
Figure 3. Block diagram of a MIMO-OFDM system.
Figure5 depicts the MSE performance, and once again it can be clearly recognized that the MSE
decreases as SNR increasing for all techniques. The comb-type and SIP techniques overwhelm
the performance of STBC and SFBC especially at SNR>5 dB. The comb-type accomplishes
slightly better performance than the SIP. Furthermore, SIP-based channel estimation requires re-
design of pilot symbols for different transmit antennas and different subcarriers. Hence, the pilot
patterns of SIP channel estimation is not flexible compared to that of comb-type channel
estimation. The curves of MSE performance in Figure 5 for STBC and SFBC almost agree with
the curves of BER performance in Figure4, where SFBC performs better than STBC.

6. CONCLUSIONS
The simulation results demonstrate that comb-type and SIP channel estimation techniques have
better performance in terms of BER and MSE (lowest values) as compared to SFBC and STBC
techniques for all power range; and SFBC technique provides better performance than STBC.

8
Practically, comb-type and SIP outperform both SFBC and STBC significantly, as well as they
are more robust and promising. Furthermore, comb-type channels estimation works better than
SIP with the same number of pilots, which implies they have the same number of data
subcarriers. Based on the simulation results for BER and MSE, the four investigated techniques
can be ranked as follows: comb-type, SIP, SFBC, and finally STBC.
The main recommendations for future work are to investigate the effects of the number of
subcarrier (Ns), number of pilots (Np), channel length (L), and normalized Doppler frequency
(fdTOFDM) on the performance of these techniques. Furthermore, it is also valuable to compare the
performance of these techniques against other channel estimation techniques in various wireless
communication environments and system conditions.
