In this paper, blind equalization using a modified Fuzzy C-Means algorithm with Gaussian Weights (MFCM_GW) is attempted to the heavy noise-corrupted channels. The proposed algorithm can deal with both of linear and nonlinear channels, because it searches for the optimal channel output states of a channel instead of estimating the channel parameters in a direct manner. In contrast to the common Euclidean distance in Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), the use of the Bayesian likelihood fitness function and the Gaussian weighted partition matrix is exploited in its search procedure. The selected channel states by MFCM_GW are always close to the optimal set of a channel even the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is heavily corrupted in it. Simulation studies demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is relatively superior to existing genetic algorithm (GA) and conventional FCM based methods in terms of accuracy and speed.

In this paper, a modified Fuzzy C-Means (MFCM) algorithm is presented for nonlinear blind channel equalization. The proposed MFCM searches the optimal channel output states of a nonlinear channel, based on the Bayesian likelihood fitness function instead of a conventional Euclidean distance measure. In its searching procedure, all of the possible desired channel states are constructed with the elements of estimated channel output states. The desired state with the maximum Bayesian fitness is selected and placed at the center of a Radial Basis Function (RBF) equalizer to reconstruct transmitted symbols. In the simulations, binary signals are generated at random with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA merged with simulated annealing (SA): GASA), and the relatively high accuracy and fast searching speed are achieved.

In this paper, in order to speed up the convergence process and improve the steady mean square error simultaneously, we propose the Stop-and-Go Dual Mode Modified Constant Modulus Algorithm(SAG DM MCMA) for adaptive blind channel equalization of high order QAM. The proposed algorithm is a hybrid scheme of the Modified CMA that treat error signals with real and imaginary components of the equalizer output, the concept of dual mode CMA, and Stop-and-Go algorithm. As a result it can prevent blind equalization from converging to incorrect direction and simultaneously operates reliably for tap weight adaptation. We demonstrate via simulation that the proposed algorithm achieves lower steady state mean square error and residual ISI than the conventional algorithms under high order QAM signals and severe channel environment.

In this paper, the lagged cross-correlation of two probability density functions constructed by kernel density estimation is proposed, and by maximizing the proposed function, adaptive filtering algorithms for supervised and unsupervised training are also introduced. From the results of simulation for blind equalization applications in multipath channels with impulsive and slowly varying direct current (DC) bias noise, it is observed that Gaussian kernel of the proposed algorithm cuts out the large errors due to impulsive noise, and the output affected by the DC bias noise can be effectively controlled by the lag ${\tau}$ intrinsically embedded in the proposed function.

This paper presents a fourth-order cumulants based iterative algorithm for blind channel equalization. It is robust with respect to the existence of heavy Gaussian noise in a channel and does not require the minimum phase characteristic of the channel. In this approach, the transmitted signals at the receiver are over-sampled to ensure the channel described by a full-column rank matrix. It changes a single-input/single-output (SISO) finite-impulse response (FIR) channel to a single-input/multi-output (SIMO) channel. Based on the properties of the fourth-order cumulants of the over-sampled channel outputs, the iterative algorithm is derived to estimate the deconvolution matrix which makes the overall transfer matrix transparent, i.e., it can be reduced to the identity matrix by simple reordering and scaling. Both a closed-form and a stochastic version of the proposed algorithm are tested with three-ray multi-path channels in simulation studies, and their performances are compared with a method based on conventional second-order cumulants. Relatively good results are achieved, even when the transmitted symbols are significantly corrupted with Gaussian noise.

The constant modulus algorithm (CMA) widely used in blind equalization applications minimizes the averaged power of constant modulus error (CME) defined as the difference between an instant output power and a constant modulus. In this paper, a decision feedback version of the linear blind algorithm based on maximization of the zero-error probability for CME is proposed. The Gaussian kernel of the maximum zero-error criterion is analyzed to have the property to cut out excessive CMEs that may be induced from severely distorted channel characteristics. Decision feedback approach to the maximum zero-error criterion for CME is developed based on the characteristic that the Gaussian kernel suppresses the outliers and this prevents error propagation to some extent. Compared to the linear algorithm based on maximum zero-error probability for CME in the simulation of blind equalization environments, the proposed decision feedback version has superior performance enhancement particularly in cases of severe channel distortions.

In this paper, a new blind signal processing scheme for equalization in fading and impulsive-noise channel environments is introduced based on probability density functionmatching method and a set of Dirac-delta functions. Gaussian kernel of the proposed blind algorithm has the effect of cutting out the outliers on the difference between the desired level values and impulse-infected outputs. And also the proposed algorithm has relatively less sensitivity to channel eigenvalue ratio and has reduced computational complexity compared to the recently introduced correntropy algorithm. According to these characteristics, simulation results show that the proposed blind algorithm produces superior performance in multi-path communication channels corrupted with impulsive noise.

이 논문은 새로운 블라인드 부분 간격 등화기를 제안한다. 기존의 선형 계획법을 이용한 등화기는 등화기 필터 탭의 자유도를 강제로 줄였기 때문에 성능이 저하된다. 제안 방법은 특이값 분해를 통해 신호 공간을 구해 표본을 최대한 사용하여 등화기 성능을 향상시킨다. 제안 방법은 핵 노름을 이용한 등화기와 성능은 비슷하면서도, 기존 선형 계획법을 이용한 등화기와 비슷한 낮은 복잡도를 갖는다.

인터넷에 관련된 많은 연구들이 멀티포인트 통신에 집중되어 있으며 이 멀티 포인트 통신에 블라인드 등화기술이 주로 사용되어 왔다. 이 논문에서는, 적응 블라인드 등화기를 위해, 두 확률밀도함수의 유클리드 거리를 최소화하는 기준을 소개한다. 파젼 확률밀도로 표현되는 유클리드 거리가 최소화되기 위해, 전송 심볼의 확률밀도함수와 같은 형태를 갖도록 하는 랜덤 심볼을 수신단에서 생성하여 사용한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터, 일반적으로 쓰이는 CMA 알고리듬이 열악한 성능을 보이는 채널모델에 대해 제안한 방식은 크게 향상된 성능을 나타냈다. CMA와 비교했을 때, 채널의 고유치분포비에 대해서도 비교적 민감하지 않은 일관된 성능을 보였으며, ITL의 한 영역으로서, 파젼 확률밀도를 사용한 유클리드 거리 최소화 기준이 블라인드 등화에 성공적으로 응용될 수 있음을 보였다.

The minimum entropy method is one of blind equalization method. A conventional algorithm using the minimum entropy method has two problems : slower convergence and lower reliability of recovered signals. We propose a new algorithm using the minimum entropy method for solving the two problems. Pina31y, we confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm through computer simulation.
