Wireless smart utility network (Wi-SUN) is one of the wireless communication technologies that realize the Internet of things (IoT). The existing Wi-SUN adopts frequency shift keying compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 for smart utility networks, also known as SUN-FSK, as its physical layer. However, owing to the increased demand for Wi-SUN applications, higher-performance communication methods even in severe fading environments with mobility are required. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing compliant with IEEE 802.15.4 is expected to be the most promising candidate for this. Studies on receiving methods have been conducted to accommodate high environment mobility. However, the maximum moving speed of the device is 200 km/h if diversity reception is adopted. In this study, we proposed two channel estimation methods to obtain accurate channel state information (CSI), particularly in a frequency selective fading environment with high mobility using the coherent and linear method. Further, we also proposed a Viterbi decoder with a likelihood ratio adjusted for CSI. Using the proposed channel estimation method and decoder, the required packet error rate of 10% is achieved at a maximum moving speed of 216 km/h by computer simulation. If a two-branch maximum ratio combining antenna diversity is used, the PER is achieved at 720 km/h. |
