Abstract
The high Doppler effect and severe multipath delay are among the major challenges in air-to-ground (A2G) communication scenarios, where the maximum multipath delay may exceed the duration of one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, resulting in severe inter-symbol interference (ISI). In this letter, we propose a new frame structure constituted by grouped training sequences (GTSs), OFDM symbols and guard interval (GI). Specifically, two GTSs are respectively prefixed and postfixed to several cyclic-prefix-free OFDM symbols for Doppler frequency offset (DFO) and multipath delay estimation. Moreover, a two-path serial ISI cancellation (TSIC) algorithm is designed to recover the transmitted signal. Compared with existing algorithms, the new scheme can reduce errors and increase the spectral efficiency of the system.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
