| Summary: | Future observations of 21 cm emission from neutral hydrogen survey will become a promising approach to probe the large scale structure of the Universe. In this paper, we investigate the impacts of Square Kilometre Array (SKA) 21 cm observation on the estimation of cosmological parameters. We use the simulated data of the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements based on the future SKA experiment with the intensity mapping (IM) technique to do the analysis. For the current observations, we use the latest cosmic microwave background (CMB) observation from Planck, the optical BAO measurements, and the Type Ia supernovae (SN) observation (Pantheon compilation). We find that the SKA mock data could break the degeneracy between the matter density and the Hubble constant, further improving the cosmological constraints to a great extent. We also find that the constraint on the equation of state parameters of dark energy could be significantly improved by including the SKA mock data into the cosmological global fit.
