Thus far, previous work in delay diversity assumed that perfect estimates of current channel fading conditions are available at the receiver and training symbols are required to estimate the channel from the transmitter to the receiver. However, increasing the number of the antennas increases the required training interval and reduces the available time with in whichdata may be transmitted. Learning the channel coefficients becomes increasingly difficult for the frequency selective channels. In this paper, with the subspace method and the delay character of delay diversity, a channel estimation method is proposed, which does not use training symbols. It addresses the transmit diversity for a frequency selective channel from a single carrier perspective in the form of a simple equivalent flat fading model. Monte Carlo simulations give the performance of channel estimation and the performance comparison of our channel-estimation-based detector with decision feedback equalization, which uses the perfect channel information.展开更多

The algorithm is based directly on the correlation matrices of matched filter bank outputs of desired user’s multipath signals and it does not require that the elements of base station antenna array outnumber the multipath signals, which is necessary for the conventional sub-space based direction-finding algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm estimates the DOA of multipath signals effectively and acceptably. The proposed algorithm has the prominent advantages of low complexity, simpleness and practicality, which make it much more suitable for practical application.展开更多
