In vehicular environments where the channel changes rapidly, channel estimation is very important in improving the reliability of wireless communication. Therefore, numerous channel estimation schemes have been proposed; however, none of the schemes proposed so far can perform well over the entire signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. In this paper, we propose a novel channel estimation scheme that selectively uses the better scheme between two channel estimation schemes on a symbol-by-symbol basis. The results show that the proposed scheme performs symbol-by-symbol selection of the better channel estimation scheme within a packet, and thus shows excellent performance over the entire SNR region in vehicular environments in terms of the bit error rate and packet error rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20051274","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,27]],"date-time":"2020-02-27T03:21:16Z","timestamp":1582773676000},"page":"1274","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Symbol-Level Selective Channel Estimation in Packet-Based OFDM Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5582-3317","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joo-Young","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2358-8375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheol","family":"Mun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Korea National University of Transportation, Chungju 27469, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6711-289X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jong-Gwan","family":"Yook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.1109\/MCOM.2014.6979970","article-title":"Cooperative intelligent transport systems standards in Europe","volume":"52","author":"Festag","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
