Blind MIMO FIR Channel Identification by Exploiting Channel Order Disparity
Jun Fang, A.R. Leyman, Yong Huat Chew · 2006
In this paper, we consider the problem of blind multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) finite impulse response (FIR) channel identification driven by spatially uncorrelated and temporally white input signals. A method that can entirely identify the MIMO channel based only on the second-order statistics (SOS) of the observed data is proposed. The complete identification of the convolutive mixture is accomplished by exploiting the diversity of the channel orders. The uniqueness of the proposed solution is proved. Numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
