Efficient PHY Layer Abstraction under Imperfect Channel Estimation

Signal Processing 2022-10-11 v3

Abstract

As most existing work investigate the PHY layer abstraction under an assumption of perfect channel estimation, it may become unreliable if there exists channel estimation error in a real communication system. This letter improves an efficient PHY layer method, EESM-log-SGN PHY layer abstraction, by considering the presence of channel estimation error. We develop two methods for implementing the EESM-log-SGN PHY abstraction under imperfect channel estimation. We show that the effective SINR is not impacted by the channel estimation error under multiple-input and single-output (MISO)/single-input and single-output (SISO) configuration, which is also verified by the full PHY simulation. The developed methods are then validated under different orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scenarios.
