Abstract
This paper presents a link adaptive processor to

perform low-complexity channel estimation and QR decomposition

(QRD) in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) receivers.

The processor utilizes frequency domain correlation of the propagation

channel to adaptively avoid unnecessary computations in

the received signal processing, achieving significant complexity

reduction with negligible performance loss. More specifically, a

windowed Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithm is used to

detect channel conditions and to compute a minimum number of

sparse subcarrier channel estimates required for low complexity

linear QRD interpolation. Furthermore, the... (More)

channel estimates can be adaptively changed to handle different

channel conditions. Simulation results demonstrate a reduction

of 40%-80% in computational complexity for different channel

models specified in the LTE-A standard. (Less)
