A novel channel estimation algorithm is presented in this paper for the recently proposed cyclic postfix based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Phase equalization with the erasure decision is used to reduce both the channel estimation error and the computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation algorithm can effectively estimate the channel impulse response (CIR) and the performance of the proposed phase equalization with erasure decision is comparable with the minimal mean square error (MMSE) equalization, but it offers less computational complexity.
