Several CRLBs on channel estimation have been derived for Gaussian noise. However, a practical channel is affected by not only Gaussian background noise but also non-Gaussian noise such as impulsive interference. This paper derives the deterministic and stochastic CRLBs for Gaussian and non-Gaussian mixed noise. Due to the use of the non-parametric kernel method to build the PDF of non-Gaussian noise, the proposed CRLBs are suitable for practical channel environments with various noise distributions. %K Channel estimation %K orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) %K Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) %K Mixed noise %U www.radioeng.cz/fulltexts/2012/12_04_1117_1124.pdf
