Comparison of Downlink Channel Estimation Schemes for LTE-Based Smart Grid Communications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The long term evolution (LTE) based smart grid communication network is a promising candidate solution for the future power grid. In this paper, we discuss three channel estimation schemes for the LTE-based smart grids, including least square (LS), minimum mean square error (MMSE), and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based channel estimators. In the simulations, we compare these three estimators, the results show that the DFT-based channel estimator can achieve the best tradeoff between the performance and the implementation complexity.
