Abstract: This paper is focused on the advanced signal processing techniques for the multi-carrier modulation especially on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM has high data rate and robust against the frequency selective multi-path channels. Channel estimation is crucial for the receiver design in coherent detection. In this paper we are investigating and examining the pilot aided system for channel estimation and its special effects on the performance of the OFDM based system. In this paper new technique is proposed which make use of conventional Least Square (LS) and Recursive Least Square (RLS) hybridization techniques for the channel estimation afterwards we apply Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Hybrid PSO (PSO+ Moth Flame Optimization(MFO)) optimization for obtaining more optimize techniques. In the proposed system, to estimate channel impulse response we are using pseudo-pilots instead to pilots as it is useful to overcome the pilot overhead and decrease the complexity by using pseudo random symbol (PRS). The performance of the proposed techniques and the weighted scheme are compared and verified using computerized simulation carried out using Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) software. It is demonstrated on the basis of graph between BER and signal to Noise Ratio (Eb/NO), that the proposed technique reduces the execution time and increase the transmission rate with low or zero overhead.
