Abstract
Space-time block coded (STBC) transmission has been established as an efficient tool to enhance communication performance over wireless fading channels. The success of STBC decoding relies on accurate channel knowledge at receivers. In this work, we present a channel estimation approach that does not require training data to estimate unknown channels. Focusing on STBC from orthogonal designs, we present channel identification conditions that are largely verifiable in terms of the code and the antenna array configuration. We also develop a simple subspace-based algorithm to identify the unknown space-time channel matrix for complex transmission. Finally, we present simulation test results to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
