Abstract
The modification of conditional Fuzzy C-Means (CFCM) with Gaussian weights (CFCM_GW) is accomplished for blind equalization of channels in this paper. The proposed CFCM_GW can deal with both of linear and nonlinear channels, because it searches for the optimal desired states of an unknown channel in a direct manner, which is not dependent on the type of channel structure. In the search procedure of CFCM_GW, the Bayesian likelihood fitness function, the Gaussian weighted partition matrix and the conditional constraint are exploited. Especially, in contrast to the common Euclidean distance in conventional Fuzzy C-Means(FCM), the Gaussian weighted partition matrix and the conditional constraint in the proposed CFCM_GW make it more robust to the heavy noise communication environment. The selected channel states by CFCM_GW are always close to the optimal set of a channel even when the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is heavily corrupted. These given channel states are utilized as the input of the Bayesian equalizer to reconstruct transmitted symbols. The simulation studies demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is relatively superior to those of the existing conventional FCM based approaches in terms of accuracy and speed.
