Abstract

In order to meet the needs of low delay in the IoT (Internet of Things) technology, short packets communication have recently attracted the attention of many researchers. In our scenario, the interference of multiple users cannot be ignored. Therefore, in order to overcome multi-user interference without affecting the efficiency of short packets transmission, we propose an efficient short packets receiving process for fast moving vehicles under a frequency-selective fading channel. During transmission, the obtained data are used to assist channel estimation. This method can also solve the problem of channel estimation quality degradation caused by a small number of pilots. Under the condition of high SNR, the performance of this scheme is improved significantly, which is close to perfect channel knowledge. Under the condition of low SNR, since the influence of the bit error rate of soft decision cannot be ignored, we adopt the scheme to eliminate multipath interference, which can effectively improve the estimation performance.
