Abstract: Various processes can facilitate the exchange of information, allowing multiple inputs and outputs. A base station (BS) is essential for a user terminal (UT) to obtain accurate channel state information (CSI). However, pilot signals can only be transmitted a limited number of times and for a specific duration. Due to the dynamic nature of the environment, the position of the UT is constantly changing. Consequently, the number of pilot signals remains constant, necessitating repeated transmission of pilot signals in neighbouring cells. This repetition results in pilot contamination, which complicates the establishment of connections between adjacent cells. The minimal mean square error (MMSE) method can still yield reasonable results, even in the presence of pilot contamination. While the BS has knowledge of the channels linked to each UT, this information is not available to the MMSE method. In this study, two channel estimation approaches are proposed.
