Abstract

This work addresses the issue of semi-blind (SB) subspace-based channel estimation when MIMO-OFDM communications systems are considered. The suggested solution primarily decreases the computational cost while ensuring reliable channel estimates. Covariance matrices and noise subspace are calculated for each subcarrier in a parallel manner by utilizing the OFDM modulation's orthogonality property. Pilots and data are then jointly used in a SB scheme, via a global (hybrid) cost function, to improve further the channel estimation accuracy as well as the information data throughput. To support our study, several numerical simulations are performed to investigate the requirements for channel identifiability and assess the performance and limitations of our SB method.
