Abstract
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems are the key parts of Space-Air-Ground networks. In order to deal with the scarcity of spectrum source, generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) becomes a candidate for next generation LEO satellite systems. In LEO satellite communication systems, channel estimation is an indispensable technique to adapt to complex satellite channel environment. Because of the non-orthogonality between GFDM subcarriers, conventional channel estimation techniques can’t achieve the desired performance. We propose a Turbo receiver channel estimation method with threshold control to improve the channel estimation performance by utilizing the feedback information from Turbo decoder. The numerical and analytical results show that the proposed method can achieve better performance over LEO satellite channel.
