Abstract

This paper presents a blind joint channel and interference suppression for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Our approach uses a generalized multi-channel minimum variance principle to design an equalizing filterbank that preserves the desired signal components and suppresses the overall interference. Channel estimate is then obtained by deriving an asymptotically tight lower bound of the filterbank output power, which reduces the problem to a quadratic minimization. While a channel estimate may be obtained by directly maximizing the filterbank output power through multidimensional nonlinear searches, such an approach is computationally prohibitive and suffers local convergence. Numerical examples show that the proposed scheme approaches the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) as the SNR increases. It also exhibits low sensitivity to unknown narrowband interference and compares favorably with a subspace blind channel estimator.
