Introduction
MIMO OFDM system

Transmitter

At the transmitter, serial data stream

is mapped by considering modulation
type. And pilot signals are inserted to
get CIRs, then data blocks [X(2k),
X(2k + 1)] are encoded by space
time block

nj(n) is additive white Gaussian noise
with zero mean and variance.

networks
Neural network has adaptive weights
capability with learning algorithm.In
this study the LevenbergMarquardt
learning algorithm is used to train
network.

 The input signal parts which are

separated into real and imaginary and
weights sum that comes into nodes are
computed
by
applying
activation
function.

layer

 Neural estimator output

channel impulse response Hij(n) will

be estimated by adding each parts of
the outputs.
To adjust weights of input to hidden
layer and hidden to output layer, LM
algorithm is used

LevenbergMarquardt algorithm
In LM training, to adjust synaptic weights objective function E(w) that
will be minimized
Training steps
i. Initialize weight (w) and learning rate ()
ii. Compute objective function that is sum of squared errors between
desired and actual outputs

iii. Weight Update

W=W+W
iv. Recompute squared error using w + w. If error is smaller than
computed one in Step 2 then reduce the learning rate () 0.1 times, if
error is not reduced increase learning rate () 10 times and go to Step
3
v. Finish the training when error is less than the predetermined value

Conclusion
Evaluate the performances, Channel

OFDM system and it is better,
compared with LS and LMS channel
estimation schemes.
