- Abstract
In this paper, we propose two novel semi-blind channel estimation techniques based on QR decomposition for Rician fading Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channel. In the first technique, the MIMO channel matrix H can be decomposed as an upper triangular matrix R and unitary rotation matrix Q as H = RQ. The matrix R is estimated blindly from only received data by using the orthogonal matrix triangularization based Householder QR decomposition, while the optimum rotation matrix Q is estimated exclusively from the algorithm of Orthogonal Pilot Maximum Likelihood Estimator (OPML) based on pilot information. In the second technique, the joint semi-blind channel and data estimation is performed by using the Least Square (LS) algorithm based on QR decomposition. The simulation results obtained for 4-PSK data modulation scheme using two transmitters and six receiver antennas for different Rice factor ( K) have shown that the BER performance increases with an increase in the Rice factor. Finally, we compare these two new techniques with the conventional semi-blind channel estimation technique based on Whitening Rotation (WR), and the results show that the first proposed technique outperforms and the second technique achieves a very nearby performance as compared to the technique based on whitening rotation.
