Abstract

New enabling technologies that include millimeter wave (mmWave) communication, massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO), and ultradense networks are set to transform the wireless communication systems. These emerging technologies contribute toward the evolution of fifth generation (5G) systems that promise greater connectivity, throughput, mobility, and reliability for communication networks. This article presents a comprehensive overview of techniques for channel estimation, particularly, frequency division duplex (FDD)-based estimation techniques for a communication network. An exhaustive literature survey of FDD-based estimation schemes is presented, with a comprehensive review of the coordinated multipoint (CoMP) strategies in 5G radio networks, and its reliance on acquisition of channel state information (CSI). Since accurate CSI promotes the adoption of channel precoding, and reliable signal detection in FDD-based 5G systems, therefore, channel estimation for CSI in conjunction with CoMP transmission is preferable. We also present future research directions for FDD-based channel estimation and CoMP in 5G.
