The channel estimation is studied for different pilot densities ({2,} {4,} {6,} and 10) in frequency-domain and fixed pilot allocation in temporal-domain for low delay spread and high delay spread channels. The estimation of channel in frequency-domain is based on interpolation, polynomial-based generalized linear model (or least-squares method) and Wiener filtering (or Linear Minimum Mean Square Error) methods. The estimation of channel in temporal-domain is done using linear interpolation. We have compared the performance of all these schemes by measuring raw bit-error-rate with {QPSK} modulation on Rayleigh fading channel based on Clarks scattering model." }
