Abstract

A novel semi-blind space-time equaliser (STE) is proposed for dispersive multiple-input multiple-output systems that employ high-throughput quadrature amplitude modulation signalling. A minimum number of training symbols, approximately equal to the dimension of the STE, are first utilised to provide a rough initial least squares estimate of the STE's weight vector. A concurrent gradient-Newton constant modulus algorithm and soft decision-directed scheme is then applied to adapt the STE. The proposed semi-blind adaptive STE is capable of converging fast to the minimum mean square error STE solution. Simulation results confirms that the convergence speed of this semi-blind adaptive algorithm is very close to that of the training-based recursive least squares algorithm.
