Abstract: A low complexity channel estimation algorithm based on the tracking of multipath time delays is presented for broadband multi-input multi-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems.The estimator's performance and computation complexity is analyzed.Simulation results show that the tracking of multipath time delays can improve the channel estimation performance and reduce the computation complexity by decreasing the dimension of estimated parameters.

Key words: MIMO-OFDM, channel estimation, sparse channel, multipath time delays tracking
