摘要
In this paper, a novel scheme is developed to improve the accuracy of the non-data-aided (NDA) noise variance estimation in the low signal to noise ratio (SNR) region of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. To achieve this, a novel cost function is derived based on the combined Akaike information criterion which not only relies on the cyclic prefix (CP)-induced redundancy but also utilizes the multipath channel memory. In contrast with the schemes which only rely on the information from the CP-induced redundancy, a more accurate noise variance estimation can be obtained from this cost function in the low SNR region. Simulations show that the proposed noise variance estimator outperforms significantly the other existing NDA algorithms. Copyright © 2015 Binary Information Press.
