Abstract

In this paper we consider a problem of blind co-channel signal separation, the goal of which is to estimate multiple co-channel digitally modulated signals using an antenna array. We employ the joint maximum likelihood estimation and present a sequential algorithm, which is referred to as sequential joint maximum likelihood (SJML) algorithm. It separates multiple co-channel signal on-line and converges fast in overdetermined noisy communication environment. And the computational complexity of SJML for M-QAM (M=8, 16, 64,...) signals is less expensive compared to the SLSP. Useful behavior of this algorithm are confirmed by simulations.
