Abstract
The semi-blind equalization for a wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with frequency selective Ricean channels is addressed. A reformulation of the problem accepting higher complexity allows to apply ordinary complex Independent Component Analysis (ICA). An algorithm presented here resolves the increased number of permutations due to the reformulation of the convolutive blind signal separation problem. The remaining ambiguities are as many as in the non-frequency selective case and solved by a short preamble. The efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated by numerical simulations. According to the Bit Error Rate the semi-blind equalization shows a good performance in comparison to training based channel estimation & equalization.
