Blind FIR Equalisation for High-Order QAM Signalling
نویسنده
چکیده
We compare some blind finite-impulse-response (FIR) equalisation schemes for high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signalling. The popular constant modulus algorithm (CMA) is used as a benchmark in an investigation of two blind FIR equalisers, namely, a bootstrap maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) equaliser and a recently introduced concurrent CMA and decision directed (DD) equaliser (CMA+DD). Both equalisers are known to outperform the CMA considerably at costs of small increase in computational complexity. Our study indicates that the bootstrap MAP equaliser has a faster convergence rate than the concurrent CMA+DD equaliser.

NONLINEAR AND NON-GAUSSIAN SIGNAL PROCESSING Exploiting non-Gaussianity in blind identification and equalisation of MIMO FIR channels
The problem of blind identification and equalisation (BIE) of finite impulse response (FIR) channels in multiuser digital communications is investigated. The non-Gaussian nature and statistical independence of the users’ data streams is exploited by resorting to blind signal separation (BSS) based on higher-order statistics (HOS). Two such techniques are put forward. The first technique is comp...
متن کاملBlind Equalisation of High-Order QAM Channels Using a Fuzzy-Logic Tuned Constant Modulus Algorithm and Soft Decision-Directed Scheme
We consider blind equalisation for high-order quadrature amplitude modulation channels using a lowcomplexity high-performance concurrent constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and soft decision-directed (SDD) scheme. Instead of using a constant step size, we design a fuzzy-logic (FL) tuning unit to adjust the step size of the CMA. Simulation investigation confirms that faster convergence can be achie...

The recently introduced concurrent constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and decision-directed (DD) scheme provides a state-of-the-art low-complexity blind equalisation technique for high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) channels. At a small cost of slightly more than doubling the complexity of the standard CMA blind equaliser, this concurrent CMA and DD blind equaliser achieves a dramati...

متن کاملMulti-stage blind clustering equaliser
A multi-stage blind clustering algorithm is proposed for equalisation of multi-level quadrature amplitute modulation (M-$AM) channels. A hierarchical decomposition divides the task of equalising a high-order QAM channel into much simpler sub-tasks. Each sub-task can be accomplished fast and reliably using a blind clustering algorithm derived originally for 4-QAM signals. The constant modulus al...
