本篇将在MATLAB的仿真环境中对比MIMO几种常见的信道估计方法的性能。

有关MIMO的介绍可看转至此篇博客：

MIMO系统模型构建_唠嗑！的博客-CSDN博客

在所有无线通信中，信号通过信道会出现失真，或者会添加各种噪声。正确解码接收到的信号就需要消除信道施加的失真和噪声。为了弄清信道的特性，就需要信道估计。

信道估计有很多不同的方法，但是通用的流程可概括如下：

1. 设置一个数学模型，利用信道矩阵搭建起发射信号和接收信号之间的关系；
2. 发射已知信号（通常称为参考信号或导频信号）并检测接收到的信号；
3. 通过对比发送信号和接收信号，确定信道矩阵中的每个元素。

二. MATLAB代码

一共有四个代码，包含三个函数代码和一个主运行代码。

（2）三个函数文件

function [deviation,powerAllocation]=functionLagrangeMultiplier(eigenvaluesTransmitter,totalPower,k,alpha)
%Compute the MSE for estimation of the squared Frobenius norm of the
%channel matrix for a given training power allocation. 
%INPUT:
%eigenvaluesTransmitter = Vector with the active eigenvalues at the
%                         transmitter side
%totalPower             = Total power of the training sequence
%k                      = Vector with k parameter values 
%alpha                  = Langrange multiplier value
%
%OUTPUT:
%deviation              = Difference between available power and used power
%powerAllocation        = Training power allocation 
%Compute power allocation 
powerAllocation = sqrt(8*(1./alpha(:))*eigenvaluesTransmitter'/3).*cos(repmat((-1).^k*pi/3,[length(alpha) 1])-atan(sqrt(8*(1./alpha(:))*(eigenvaluesTransmitter.^3)'/27-1))/3)-repmat(1./eigenvaluesTransmitter',[length(alpha) 1]);

%Deviation between total available power and the power that is used
deviation = abs(totalPower-sum(powerAllocation,2));

function MSE = functionMSEmatrix(R_diag,q_powerallocation,B)
%Compute the MSE for estimation of the channel matrix for a given training

%INPUT:

%q_powerallocation = Nt x 1 vector with training power allocation
%B                 = Length of the training sequence.
%
%OUTPUT:

%
%OUTPUT:

MSE = sum(sum(((eigenvaluesTransmitter*eigenvaluesReceiver').^2 + 2*(powerAllocation.*eigenvaluesTransmitter.^3)*(eigenvaluesReceiver').^3)./(1+(powerAllocation.*eigenvaluesTransmitter)*eigenvaluesReceiver').^2));

注意：

• 此MIMO发射天线为8，接收天线为4；
• 三个函数文件的命名需要与函数保持一致；
• 先运行函数文件，再运行main主文件；
• 函数文件出现变量数报错是正常现象；
• 运行出来有两个图，选择任意一个图即可。

三. 运行结果与分析

分析：

3.1 均方误差（MSE）与训练功率（dB）的关系

从图像上看，不管是何种信道估计方法，当训练功率增加时，均方误差（MSE）在减小。

MSE: Mean Square Error 均方误差

均方误差的全称为  误差平方的均值，误差也就是真实的信道值减去估计的信道值，我相信从名字来看就很好理解了，现在给出它的标准式子：

上式中E{}代表求里面的均值（数学期望），H代表信道准确值，代表信道估计值。

信道估计需要发送导频信号，训练功率越大证明投入的越多，信道估计的误差也就越小，信道估计性能越好，均方误差也就越小，这也就是解释了为什么所有的曲线均呈现递减的趋势。

3.2 不同信道估计方法性能对比

纵向对比，信道估计从最优到最劣分别为：MMSE（optimal），MMSE(heuristic)，one-sided linear，two-side linear，MVU。

本图一共展现了五种MIMO信道估计的方法，要想搞清楚图形如此，就需要分析每一种信道估计方法。

（1）MVU,optimal

先从最差的开始。MVU全称 minimum variance unbiased 中文翻译为最小方差无偏。文章来源地址https://www.toymoban.com/news/detail-460775.html
