A new algorithm for fast blind equalization of wireless communication channels

Tong et al. (1993) proposed a parametric approach for blind equalization based solely on the second-order statistics. It first demonstrates the possibility of achieving satisfactory blind equalization by using a few hundred data samples in some typical wireless communication scenarios. Nevertheless, the algorithm is still far from optimal and is quite computationally intensive. The authors use a different approach and derive a new algorithm which is less complicated as the original one. Simulation studies also show an improvement of the new approach over its alternative in some scenarios.<<ETX>>
