IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 57(3), pp. 1585-1595.00189545http://hdl.handle.net/10092/4075This paper presents a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) receiver design with integrated channel estimation and tracking for a time-varying frequency-selective Rician or Rayleigh fading environment. It first extends a polynomial-predictor-based channel estimation and tracking approach to a MIMO system. The structure and complexity of the estimator are similar to that of an optimum estimator using a Kalman filter, but it does not require a priori knowledge of the channel statistics. It employs a fixed-state transition matrix using precomputed polynomial coefficients and can be used in a Rician fading environment without reconfiguration. It is integrated with a MIMO minimum-mean-squared-error decision feedback equalizer, and simulation results show that the system performance using the estimator can be made comparable to that employing a Kalman estimator under a broad range of channel conditions.enequalizersestimationfading channelsmobile communicationmultiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO)Journal ArticleFields of Research::290000 Engineering and Technology::291700 Communications Technologies::291710 Radio communications and broadcasting not elsewhere classifiedhttps://doi.org/10.1109/TVT.2007.907318
