  • A novel blind channel estimation scheme is presented for Space-Time Coded OFDM (STC-OFDM) systems. This scheme is composed of rude channel estimation by exploiting the finite-alphabet property of information signals and fine channel estimation by using decision-directed method, which employs the priori knowledge of the transmitted signals other than the finite-alphabet property of mapping constellation. At the cost of a little more computational complexity, it achieves better performance than the competitive one, hence it is suitable for STC-OFDM systems with a small number of subcarriers in slowly time-varying and not severely frequency selective channels. The scheme is tested with simulations and also compared with the subspace-based channel estimation.
