Abstract

The criterionmaximizing cross-correntropy (MCC) of two different random variables has yielded superior performance comparing to mean squared error criterion. In this paper we present a complex-valued blind equalizer algorithm for QAM and complex channel environments based on cross-correntropy criterion which uses, as two variables, equalizer output PDF and Parzen PDF estimate of a self-generated symbol set. Simulation results show significantly enhanced performance of symbol-point concentration with no phase rotation in complex-channel communication.

두 랜덤 변수의 상호 코렌트로피 최대화 기준은 최소자승오차 기준에 비해 탁월한 성능을 보인다. 이 논문에서 제안하는 블라인드 등화 방식은, 등화기 출력 PDF와 자기 생성 심볼 집합의 파전 PDF를 두 랜덤 변수로 하는 상호 코렌트로피에 기준을 두어 QAM과 복소 채널 환경을 위해 설계되었다. 복소 채널 통신 환경의 시뮬레이션 결과에서 상 위상 회전이 없이 크게 향상된 심볼 포인트 집중 성능을 나타냈다.
