Abstract

In this paper, the distributed and recursive blind channel identification algorithms are proposed for single-input multi-output (SIMO) systems of sensor networks (both time-invariant and time-varying networks). At any time, each agent updates its estimate using the local observation and the information derived from its neighboring agents. The algorithms are based on the truncated stochastic approximation and their convergence is proved. A simulation example is presented and the computation results are shown to be consistent with theoretical analysis.
