Blind channel identification and equalization attempt to identify the communication channel and to remove the inter-symbol interference caused by a communication channel without using any known trainning sequences. In this paper, we propose a blind adaptive channel identification and equalization algorithm with phase offset compensation for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) channel. It is based on the one-step forward multichannel linear prediction error method and can be implemented by an RLS algorithm. Phase offset problem, we use a blind adaptive algorithm called the constant modulus derotator (CMD) algorithm based on condtant modulus algorithm (CMA). Moreover, unlike many known subspace (SS) methods or cross relation (CR) methods, our proposed algorithms do not require channel order estimation. Therefore, our algorithms are robust to channel order mismatch.

Due to the complexity of underwater acoustic channel, signal estimation in underwater acoustic communication field is considerably affected from time-varying multipath fading channels. On this reason, the original signals should have many long training signals to estimate the channel and the purposed signals, and the bit rate of signals having information may have small rate. In order to avoid this loss of efficiency in underwater communication, this paper employed a blind channel identification method which don't use training signals. Simulations have predicted performance of the employed method in multipath environment and an aquatic plant experiment has verified the simulation results.

Blind adaptive channel identification of communication channels is a problem of important current theoretical and practical concerns. Recently proposed solutions for this problem exploit the diversity induced by antenna array or time oversampling leading to the so-called, second order statistics techniques. And adaptive blind channel identification techniques based on a off-line least-squares approach have been proposed. In this paper, a new approach is proposed that is based on eigenvalue decomposition. And the eigenvector corresponding to the minimum eigenvalue of the covariance matrix of the received signals contains the channel impulse response. And we present a adaptive algorithm to solve this problem. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated over real measured channel and is compared to existing algorithms.

Recently, several noise-robust adaptive multichannel LMS algorithms have been proposed based on the spectral flatness of the estimated channel coefficients in the presence of additive noise. In this work, we propose a general form for the algorithms that integrates the existing algorithms into a common framework. Computer simulation results are presented and demonstrate that a new proposed algorithm gives better performance compared to existing algorithms in noisy environments.

Blind identification and equalization of communication channel is important because it does not need training sequence, nor does it require a priori channel information. So, we can increase the bandwidth efficiency. The linear prediction error method is perhaps the most attractive in practice due to the insensitive to blind channel estimator and equalizer length mismatch as well as for its simple adaptive algorithms. In this paper, we propose method for fractionally spaced blind equalizer with arbitrary delay using one-step forward prediction error filter from second-order statistics of the received signals for SIMO channel. Our algorithm utilizes the forward prediction error as training sequences for data estimation and desired signal for channel estimation.

This paper deals with the problem of channel identification for Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) slow fading channels using clustering algorithms. Due to the intrinsic memory of the discrete-time model of the channel, over short observation periods, the received data vectors of the SIMO model are spread in clusters because of the AWGN noise. Each cluster is practically centered around the ideal channel output labels without noise and the noisy received vectors are distributed according to a multivariate Gaussian distribution. Starting from the Markov SIMO channel model, simultaneous maximum ikelihood estimation of the input vector and the channel coefficients reduce to one of obtaining the values of this pair that minimizes the sum of the Euclidean norms between the received and the estimated output vectors. Viterbi algorithm can be used for this purpose provided the trellis diagram of the Markov model can be labeled with the noiseless channel outputs. The problem of identification of the ideal channel outputs, which is the focus of this paper, is then equivalent to designing a Vector Quantizer (VQ) from a training set corresponding to the observed noisy channel outputs. The Linde-Buzo-Gray (LBG)-type clustering algorithms [1] could be used to obtain the noiseless channel output labels from the noisy received vectors. One problem with the use of such algorithms for blind time-varying channel identification is the codebook initialization. This paper looks at two critical issues with regards to the use of VQ for channel identification. The first has to deal with the applicability of this technique in general; we present theoretical results for the conditions under which the technique may be applicable. The second aims at overcoming the codebook initialization problem by proposing a novel approach which attempts to make the first phase of the channel estimation faster than the classical codebook initialization methods. Sample simulation results are provided confirming the effectiveness of the proposed initialization technique.

본 논문에서는 긴 코드 DS/CDMA DMB 하향링크 시스템에서의 신호공간에 기초한 새로운 채널추정기법을 제안한다. 신호공간과 잡음공간과의 직교성을 이용하는 종래의 부분공간 방식과는 달리 신호공간만을 이용하여 채널응답을 추정할 수 있다. 신호공간만을 이용하므로 제안된 기법은 종래의 부분공간 방식에서의 연산복잡도 문제를 해결할 수 있고 따라서 실제 구현 가능한 적절한 사이즈의 공분산 행렬로 부분공간 분석을 통한 채널추정기법에 사용될 수 있다. 논문을 통하여 제안된 기법과 관련된 수식을 도출하고 시뮬레이션 및 수치결과를 통해 제안된 기법의 유효성을 보인다.

In recent years, many sparse estimation methods, also known as compressed sensing, have been developed. However, most of these methods presume that the measurement matrix is completely known. We develop a new blind maximum likelihood method-the expectation-sparse-maximization (ESpaM) algorithm-for models where the measurement matrix is the product of one unknown and one known matrix. This method is a variant of the expectation-maximization algorithm to deal with the resulting problem that the maximization step is no longer unique. The ESpaM algorithm is justified theoretically. We present as well numerical results for two concrete examples of blind channel identification in digital communications, a doubly-selective channel model and linear time invariant sparse channel model.

통신 채널에서 블라인드 채널 인식은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 블라인드 채널 인식은 고차 통계를 이용하면 구할 수 있으나 최근에는 오버샘플링한 수신신호를 이용하거나 수신측의 안테나 어레이를 이용한 신호의 2차 통계값을 이용한 방법에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 알고리듬은 잡음이 없는 환경에서 LS 방법에 기반을 두고 있기 때문에 잡음이 강한 채널에서는 원하는 성능을 얻을 수 없는 단점이 있다. 수신신호의 상관행렬의 최소 고유값에 대응하는 고유벡터는 채널의 임펄스 응답에 관한 정보를 포함하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고유벡터를 매 시간마다 갱신시키면서 구하는 적응 알고리듬을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 블라인드 채널 인식 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리듬은 잡음에 강인한 특성을 보일 뿐만 아니라 기존의 알고리듬들 보다 우수한 채널 추정 성능을 보임을 모의실험을 통하여 검증하였다.
