In this paper, we evaluate and make a comparison of the channel estimation performance for three different frame structures of IEEE 802.11p, IEEE 802.11bd-draft and a unique-word (UW)-based physical layer (PHY). As in vehicle-toeverything communication the wireless channel conditions may vary significantly depending on the environment and vehicle velocity, severe fading in both time and frequency domains may occur. Through simulation results, we show that the UWbased PHY achieves an interference-free performance of channel estimation via a low complexity technique, whereas the 802.11bd would need to employ a high complexity approach in order to achieve a comparable estimation performance.
