Abstract
Expectation-Maximization algorithm (EM) has been used in the past for blind estimation of intersymbol interference channels characterized by additive white Gaussian noise. When the channel is characterized by non-Gaussian, signal-dependent noise, the computational complexity of direct application of EM becomes prohibitively high. In this paper, a low complexity generalized EM algorithm is presented. The proposed algorithm achieves a major reduction in computational complexity compared to the EM algorithm and can be applied to nonlinear finite memory channels with non-Gaussian signal-dependent noise. Simulation results are presented for intensity modulated direct detection optical channel that is characterized by non-central chi-square distribution noise.
