Maximum Likelihood Detection with Blind Linear Prediction for Mobile Radio Communication Systems with Differential Space-Time Block Code

摘要

This report proposes a maximum likelihood detection (MLD) method with blind linear prediction (BLP) for the differential space-time block code (DSTBC) suitable for fast frequency-flat fading channels. The method, which performs the linear prediction of the fading complex envelope, determines the linear prediction coefficients by the method of Lagrange multipliers, and does not require information on training sequences nor channel parameters such as the maximum Doppler frequency in contrast with conventional ones.
