A State-Space Approach To Blind Estimation Of Mimo Wireless Channels, Hesham Mahmoud Zarif Amin Badr
A State-Space Approach To Blind Estimation Of Mimo Wireless Channels, Hesham Mahmoud Zarif Amin Badr
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation focuses on blind channel estimation in wireless communications such that the estimated channel admits the minimum phase property. It assumes only the second order statistics of the transmitted signal at the receive side. Our proposed approach is based on the generalized spectral factorization because of the deficient normal rank for the power spectral density (PSD) function of the received signal. We will show the relationship between the generalized spectral factorization and inner-outer factorizations where the inner is square with smaller size. The inner-outer factorization is in turn related to the generalized Kalman filtering in which the dimension of …

Mimo-Ofdm Communication Systems: Channel Estimation And Wireless Location, Zhongshan Wu
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In this new information age, high data rate and strong reliability features our wireless communication systems and is becoming the dominant factor for a successful deployment of commercial networks. MIMO-OFDM (multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing), a new wireless broadband technology, has gained great popularity for its capability of high rate transmission and its robustness against multi-path fading and other channel impairments. A major challenge to MIMO-OFDM systems is how to obtain the channel state information accurately and promptly for coherent detection of information symbols and channel synchronization. In the first part, this dissertation formulates the channel estimation problem …
