Abstract
Blind channel identification methods based on second-order statistics (SOS), have attracted much attention in the literature. However, these estimators suffer from the phase ambiguity problem, until additional diversity can be exploited. In this paper, with the aid of the cyclic prefix (CP) induced periodicity, a channel identification algorithm based on the time varying autocorrelation function (TVAF) is proposed for doubly selective fading channels in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The closed-form expression for time-varying channel identification is derived within the restricted support set of time index. Particularly, the CP-induced TVAF components and their corresponding channel-spread correlation elements implicitly carry rich channel information and are not perturbed by additive noise. These advantageous peaks can be employed to address the phase uncertainty problem, offering an alternative way of increasing the rank of signal matrix to achieve complementary diversity. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed method can provide distinctly higher accurate of channel estimation over the classical scheme.
