A joint channel estimation and data detection technique for a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless communication system is proposed. It combines the least square (LS) training based channel estimation (TBCE) scheme with sphere decoding. In this new approach, channel estimation is enhanced with the help of blind symbols, which are selected based on their correctness. The correctness is determined via sphere decoding. The performance of the new scheme is studied through simulation in terms of the bit error rate (BER). The results show that the proposed channel estimation has comparable performance and better computational complexity over the existing semi-blind channel estimation (SBCE) method.

This paper proposes a blind channel estimation scheme for long code direct sequence code division multiple access (DS­CDMA) systems with multipath fading channels. This scheme combines the advantages of Toeplitz displacement and correlation matching methods to achieve improved performance. The basic idea is to remove the effects of noise and interferences with Toeplitz displacement operation and then estimate the multi path channel parameters with the correlation matching method. Simulation results are presented to show that the proposed scheme provides better MSE performance and robustness against the near-far problem.

A blind-mode integer frequency offset estimation algorithm is proposed for an OFDM system. Imperfect integer frequency offset estimation causes ambiguity in the data sub-carrier position. Morelli's blind integer frequency offiet estimation algorithm exploits the likelihood function by comparing the power in sub-carriers. It, however, shows performance degradation when there is the fractional frequency offset. The proposed algorithm solves this by using interpolation in the frequency domain. In this algorithm, it is exploited that the effect of the frequency offset is shown as a shift of power spectrum. By calculating the covariance of over-sampled samples, most approximate samples to integer point are obtained. It enables integer frequency offset estimation less affected by fractional frequency offset.

본 논문에서는 다중 셀 MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) 네트워크를 위한 Hadamard 행렬 인터스트림 (interstream) 전송기반 blind 채널추정을 소개한다. 제안 방법은 다중 셀로 된 이동 단말 네트워크를 기반으로 연구된다. MS (mobile station) 는 양 셀로부터 신호를 받는 것으로 가정한다. 가까운 셀로부터 받은 신호는 원하는 신호로 간주되고, 다른 셀로부터 받은 신호는 간섭신호로 간주된다. 채널은 blind이기 때문에 채널을 추정하기 위해 Hadamard 행렬 패턴의 파일럿 (pilot) 스트림 (stream) 을 전송하면, 대규모 MIMO 채널에 대해 보다 쉽고 빠른 채널 추정이 가능하게 된다. Hadamard 행렬 기반시스템의 계산은 오직 복소 가산 (complex addition) 만 필요하기 때문에, 복소 승산 (complex multiplication) 이 필요한 Fourier 변환을 이용한 방법보다 복잡도가 훨씬 줄어든다. 수치적 분석을 통해 본 결과 제안한 방법이 완벽함을 보여준다.

This letter proposes a non-coherent blind time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation scheme for impulse radio ultra-wideband systems. The TOA estimation is performed in two consecutive phases: the Rayleigh-quotient theorem-based coarse-signal acquisition (CSA) and the iterative-threshold-test-based fine time estimation (FTE). The proposed scheme serves in a blind manner without demanding any a priori knowledge of the channel and the noise. Analysis and simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly increases the signal detection probability in CSA and ameliorates the TOA estimation accuracy in FTE.

A joint blind parameter estimation algorithm based on minimum channel stability function aimed at the non-cooperative high-order modulated paired carrier multiple access (PCMA) signals is proposed. The method, which uses hierarchical search to estimate time delay, amplitude and frequency offset and the estimation of phase offset, including finite ambiguity, is presented simultaneously based on the derivation of the channel stability function. In this work, the structure of hierarchical iterative processing is used to enhance the performance of the algorithm, and the improved algorithm is used to reduce complexity. Compared with existing data-aided algorithms, this algorithm does not require a priori information. Therefore, it has significant advantage in solving the problem of blind parameter estimation of non-cooperative high-order modulated PCMA signals. Simulation results show the performance of the proposed algorithm is similar to the modified Cramer-Rao bound (MCRB) when the signal-to-noise ratio is larger than 16 dB. The simulation results also verify the practicality of the proposed algorithm.

다중 반송파 부호 분할 다중 접속 (MC-CDMA) 시스템을 위한 기존의 미상 채널 추정 방법들은, 수신 신호의 공분산 행렬에 대한 역행렬을 구하거나, 그 공분산 행렬에 대한 고유치 분해를 필요로 하기 때문에, 매우 많은 계산량을 필요로 한다. 따라서, 이러한 방법들은 복잡성 때문에 하향링크 시스템의 수신기에서는 사용하기가 어려운 방법들이다. 본 논문에서는 하향링크 MC-CDMA 시스템에 적합한 매우 낮은 복잡성을 갖는 간단한 미상 채널 추정 방법을 제안한다. 그리고, 모의 실험을 통해, 낮은 복잡성에도 불구하고, 제안하는 채널 추정 방법이 기존 방법들보다 더 우수한 채널 추정 성능과 비트 오율 성능을 나타낸다는 것을 보인다.

In this paper, a performance comparison between two blind signal estimation algorithms in a LTI channel is considered. The two algorithms, Iterative Least-Squares with Projection (ILSP) and a modified ILSP, are based on the finite-alphabet property of input symbols. This case typically arises in a multiple access system with a sensor array antenna at the receiving end. We start with the formulation of a maximum-likelihood (ML) estimation problem under an additive white Gaussian noise assumption. A blind ML estimator is derived with its iterative algorithm for calculation. Then we narrow down the consideration of this problem to QPSK case so that a modified algorithm is proposed for $\pi$/4-QPSK case. The modified version is compared with the original ILSP algorithm in terms of the rate of the convergence to global minima. A computer simulation shows that the modified algorithm gives a better performance. This result implies that the performance of the blind separation algorithms may be greatly improved by adopting a smart coding scheme with rich structure.

Blind identification and equalization of communication channel is important because it does not need training sequence, nor does it require a priori channel information. So, we can increase the bandwidth efficiency. The linear prediction error method is perhaps the most attractive in practice due to the insensitive to blind channel estimator and equalizer length mismatch as well as for its simple adaptive algorithms. In this paper, we propose method for fractionally spaced blind equalizer with arbitrary delay using one-step forward prediction error filter from second-order statistics of the received signals for SIMO channel. Our algorithm utilizes the forward prediction error as training sequences for data estimation and desired signal for channel estimation.
