New precoding blind channel estimation and channel order estimation algorithm in OFDM systems with cyclic prefix

Using different precoding matrices, a new blind channel estimation in OFDM systems with cyclic prefix is presented in this paper. The proposed method employs one column of the correlation matrix directly, unlike the traditional precoding techniques where the elements of precoding matrix is been removed. Results show the impact of this method specially when using the type of precoding matrices which include the circulant property in its design. Since channel order estimation is an important task in blind methods, a new and simple algorithm is also investigated with no additional complexity been added to the system. A proof of diagonalizability property is mentioned which can be implemented for other investigations concerning this type of matrices
