Data-Aided Variational Bayesian Inference for CSI Estimation over Doubly-Selective DCO-OTFS MIMO VLC Systems with Affine-Precoded Superimposed Training Sequences

RESUMO

An orthogonal affine-precoded superimposed training sequences (AP-STS)-based architecture is developed for the cyclic prefix (CP)-aided multiple input multiple output (MIMO) direct-current-biased orthogonal time frequency space (DCO-OTFS) visible light communication (VLC) systems relying on arbitrary transmitter-receiver pulse shaping. The data and pilot symbol matrices are affine-precoded (AP) and superimposed in the delay-Doppler (DD)-domain for each transmit light-emitting diode (LED), followed by the development of an end-to-end DD-domain relationship for the input-output symbols. At the receiver for each receiver photodiode (PD), the decoupled pilot and data symbol are extracted by employing orthogonal precoder matrices, which eliminates the mutual interference. Furthermore, a novel pilot-aided (PA) variational Bayesian inference (PA-VBI) technique is conceived for the channel state information (CSI) estimation of MIMO DCO-OTFS VLC systems based on the expectation-maximization (EM) technique. Subsequently, a data-aided (DA) variational Bayesian inference (DA-VBI)-based joint CSI estimation and data detection technique is proposed, which beneficially harnesses the estimated data symbols for improved CSI estimation. Moreover, the Bayesian Cramer-Rao lower bounds (BCRLBs) are also derived for MIMO DCO-OTFS VLC systems. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method yields superior performance in terms of normalized mean-square-error (NMSE), pilot overhead, and symbol error-rate (SER).
