Abstract

This paper investigates the blind algorithm for channel estimation of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing-Multiple Input Multiple Output (OFDM-MIMO) wireless communication system using the subspace decomposition of the channel received complex baseband signals and proposes a new two-stage blind algorithm. Exploited the second-order cyclostationarity inherent in OFDM with cyclic prefix and the characteristics of the phased antenna, the practical HIPERLAN/2 standard based OFDM-MIMO simulator is established with the sufficient consideration of statistical correlations between the multiple antenna channels under wireless wideband multipath fading environment, and a new two-stage blind algorithm is formulated using rank reduced subspace channel matrix approximation and adaptive Constant Modulus (CM) criterion. Simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis and illustrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of tracking matrix channel variations with fast convergence rate and improving acceptable overall system performance over various common wireless and mobile communication links.
