Optimal Channel Training for Multiple Antenna Systems
J. Balakrishnan, M. Rupp and H. Viswanathan
Abstract
The design of optimal training sequences for channel estimation in
multiple antenna systems is considered. The optimality criterion for
training sequence design is derived and the design tradeoffs
associated with the choice of training length is discussed. A few
heuristic methods for the search of near-optimal training sequences
are proposed. Optimal and near-optimal (binary) training sequences for
multiple antenna systems are listed. The design of training sequences
for a delay-diversity scheme is discussed. It is shown that the choice
of identical training sequences, transmitted with the appropriate
delays, is optimal for the delay-diversity scheme.
