Hi, have you found the solution of you problem ? It seems I have the same question.
The only difference is I have 11 taps.
thanks for the help,
Robert

Hi

I haven't found a MATLAB example for this situation, but there are some papers treating OFDM transmission in fast varying multipath channels (e.g.Erdal Panayirci, Hakan Dogan and H. Vincent Poor, "A Gibbs Sampling Based MAP Detection Algorithm for OFDM Over Rapidly Varying Mobile Radio Channels")
