    Abstract :

    Due to the requirement of high speed data transmission, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is becoming a vital in wireless communication systems like 3G, 4G and even in 5G networks. OFDM is capable to provide higher mobility, higher throughput, maximum possible efficiency versus multipath fading and has a capability of ultra-rate transmission. Nevertheless, these systems should be capable to acquire perfect channel estimation for enabling and permitting of higher mobility practicability for symbol recovery in ultra-speed while handling the co-channel interference (CCI). To address this issue, we introduced a robust and efficient model for channel estimation (CE) for OFDM systems under frequency selective (FS) fading channels. Optimal preface based maximum likelihood (OP-ML) scheme is utilized for estimating the channel perfectly. Simulation results show that for a sufficiently long preface, the ML estimator performs as good as the situation when the channel is known perfectly at the receiver when compared to the conventional CE algorithms with respect to mean square error (MSE). Our proposed system model well suited for digital video broadcasting and optical communications applications.
