Abstract
In iterative receiver structures, soft information

becomes available after the decoding stage in the first iteration. This information is used to enhance the quality of the channel estimates for the next iteration. Channel estimation plays a crucial role in multi-user detection because the effective identification sequence for each user strongly depends on the channel characteristics. To combine deterministic pilot information with soft information, a generalized estimator based on the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) principle is derived. We present the special case of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) in detail and provide simulation... (More)

The presented channel estimation algorithm can be also applied to direct sequence (DS)-CDMA and multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. (Less)
