Equalization using channel estimates

Dear All,

I’m trying to perform a simple way of equalization in OFDM transmission.
I
extracted the coefficients provided by the OFDM channel estimation
block,
and sent them back to the transmitter using a TCP socket.

Are these coefficients valid to use in equalization, i.e., can I divide
the
transmitted symbols by the corresponding channel coefficients, and
therefore achieve an almost unity channel taps?

Thank you

This is impossible to answer. It depends on so many things. When done
right, you can use channel coefficients to equalize, that’s the whole
point of channel estimation and equalization.

You might find the examples in gr-digital/examples/ofdm/*x_ofdm.grc
helpful.

Hi Mohammed,

I forgot to reply to the list in my previous mail, so I do this now.

An example flowgraph would be very helpful in this case. Where exactly
do your samples get “transformed back”?

what exactly do you want to achieve? Those channel estimates are
