Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology has become the key technology of mobile communication network due to its efficient transmission method. Space time block coding (STBC) introduces time and space correlation in the signals sent by different antennas, so that diversity gains and coding gains are obtained for the multiple input multiple output-OFDM (MIMO-OFDM) receiver without sacrificing bandwidth. STBC is a signal coding technology that combines higher transmission rates and it is a combination of space and time transmission signals. STBC uses the spatial diversity of multiple transmitters and multiple receivers in space to improve the capacity and information rate of the OFDM system. It proceeds parallel multiplex transmission in the transmission channel, which effectively improves spectrum utilization. For obtaining diversity gains and spectrum efficiency, this paper introduces a variable pilot assisted channel estimation method with different modulation modes. In this paper, the new type pilot sequences with different modulation orders are proposed for improving spectrum efficiency. The proposed variable pilot assisted channel estimation method in MIMO-OFDM systems is adopted with different low and high order modulations. Simulation results show that the proposed variable pilot assisted channel estimation method has 1\u20132\u00a0dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gains for bit error rate (BER) performance of MIMO-OFDM systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13638-022-02126-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,16]],"date-time":"2022-05-16T08:03:31Z","timestamp":1652688211000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Variable pilot assisted channel estimation in MIMO-OFDM system with STBC and different modulation modes"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Qun","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chengyou","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9578-6613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hai","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2126_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"F.
