Blind Channel Estimation for Hankel Space-Time Code

摘要

In this paper a new space-time code known as Hankel space-time code, is proposed, which can perform blind estimation on MIMO channels. The identifiability conditions are presented, which show that the mild requirements on the source signal can be easily satisfied. The proposed Hankel space-time code achieves high transmission rates. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of blind channel estimation algorithm for the proposed space-time code with various numbers of antennas, transmission rates and input packet sizes.
