In this paper we apply and assess the performance of support vector machine regression (SVR) and artificial neural network (ANN) channel estimation algorithms to the reference signal structure standardized for LTE Downlink system. SVR and ANN where applied to estimate real channel environment such as vehicular A channel defined by the International Telecommunications Union
(ITU) in the presence of nonlinear impulsive noise.The proposed algorithms use the information provided by the received reference symbols to estimate the total frequency response of the time variant multipath fading channel in two phases. In the first phase, each method learns to adapt to
the channel variations, and in the second phase it predicts all the channel frequency responses.
Finally, in order to evaluate the capabilities of the designed channel estimators, we provide performance of SVR and ANN, which is compared with traditional Least Squares (LS) and Decision Feedback (DF). The simulation results show that SVRhas a better accuracy than other estimation techniques.
