Complex-Channel Blind Equalization Using Cross-Correntropy
Namyong Kim · Journal of Internet Computing and services · 2010
The criterionmaximizing cross-correntropy (MCC) of two different random variables has yielded superior performance comparing to mean squared error criterion. In this paper we present a complex-valued blind equalizer algorithm for QAM and complex channel environments based on cross-correntropy criterion which uses, as two variables, equalizer output PDF and Parzen PDF estimate of a self-generated symbol set. Simulation results show significantly enhanced performance of symbol-point concentration with no phase rotation in complex-channel communication.
