Abstract
This paper proposes a maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) for the differential space-time block code (DSTBC) in cooperation with blind linear prediction (BLP) of fast frequency-flat fading channels. This method that linearly predicts the fading complex envelope derives its linear prediction coefficients by the method of Lagrange multipliers, and does not require data of decision-feedback or information on the channel parameters such as the maximum Doppler frequency in contrast to conventional ones. Computer simulations under fast fading conditions demonstrate that the proposed method with an appropriate degree of polynomial approximation is superior in BER performance to the conventional method that estimates the coefficients by the RLS algorithm using a training sequence.
