A Method for Blind Identification of Single User MIMO Signal in Step by Step

Abstract

This paper constructed signal models of four types of signal in wireless communication, i.e. single user MIMO signal, single user single antenna signal, virtual MIMO signal and multibeam smart antenna signal first, and then proposed a method for blind identification of single user MIMO signal in step by step in noncooperation communication, when the unknown source was one of the four types by using MUSIC algorithm and forward-backward spatial smoothing algorithm to blindly estimate DOAs of the received signal in the first two steps, and use blind channel estimation in the third step. Simulation results show the feasibility of this method. There has not been any published literature reporting research results about this topic yet, so the results of this paper is of important value in both theory and application.
