Abstract
In vehicle wireless communications, channel characteristics vary rapidly due to the high velocity of the vehicle and rich surrounding scatters. To guarantee a reliable transmission, dynamic channel estimation needs to track the channel changes in the duration of a packet. Within the framework of IEEE802.11p standard, we propose a new channel estimation algorithm that combines data subcarriers and pilot subcarriers to equalize channel response in both frequency domain and time domain. Depending on the changes of the channel, the channel response can be further dynamically equalized by combining the channel response of previous OFDM symbols. Simulations show significant improvement in terms of packet error rate (PER) comparing to the existing methods with little additional computation.
