Low Complexity Blind Equalization for OFDM Systems with General Constellations
This paper proposes a low-complexity algorithm for blind equalization of data
in OFDM-based wireless systems with general constellations. The proposed
algorithm is able to recover data even when the channel changes on a
symbol-by-symbol basis, making it suitable for fast fading channels. The
proposed algorithm does not require any statistical information of the channel
and thus does not suffer from latency normally associated with blind methods.
We also demonstrate how to reduce the complexity of the algorithm, which
becomes especially low at high SNR. Specifically, we show that in the high SNR
regime, the number of operations is of the order O(LN), where L is the cyclic
prefix length and N is the total number of subcarriers. Simulation results
confirm the favorable performance of our algorithm
Blind channel identification based on second-order statistics: a frequency-domain approach
In this communication, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for the unique blind identification of possibly nonminimum phase channels driven by cyclostationary processes. Using a frequency domain formulation, it is first shown that a channel can be identified by the second-order statistics of the observation if and only if the channel transfer function does not have special uniformly spaced zeros. This condition leads to several necessary and sufficient conditions on the observation spectra and the channel impulse response. Based on the frequency-domain formulation, a new identification algorithm is proposed

Soft-Decision-Driven Channel Estimation for Pipelined Turbo Receivers
We consider channel estimation specific to turbo equalization for
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication. We develop a
soft-decision-driven sequential algorithm geared to the pipelined turbo
equalizer architecture operating on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM) symbols. One interesting feature of the pipelined turbo equalizer is
that multiple soft-decisions become available at various processing stages. A
tricky issue is that these multiple decisions from different pipeline stages
have varying levels of reliability. This paper establishes an effective
strategy for the channel estimator to track the target channel, while dealing
with observation sets with different qualities. The resulting algorithm is
basically a linear sequential estimation algorithm and, as such, is
Kalman-based in nature. The main difference here, however, is that the proposed
algorithm employs puncturing on observation samples to effectively deal with
the inherent correlation among the multiple demapper/decoder module outputs
that cannot easily be removed by the traditional innovations approach. The
proposed algorithm continuously monitors the quality of the feedback decisions
and incorporates it in the channel estimation process. The proposed channel
estimation scheme shows clear performance advantages relative to existing
channel estimation techniques.Comment: 11 pages; IEEE Transactions on Communications 201
