Abstract

This paper proposes a blind multiuser detection and channel estimation method for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on blind source separation (BSS), Using multiple antennas for transmission and reception the multiuser detection problem can be cast as a BSS problem of linear instantaneous mixtures. The proposed method uses BSS in each subcarrier to detect the user signals. The source order and scaling indeterminacies inherent to BSS methods are overcome by exploiting the cross correlation between the subcarriers introduced by convolutional encoding. Additionally, the method provides an estimate of the channels. It is shown that this method provides significant performance enhancement over previous work.
