Is blind channel estimation feasible in mobile communication systems? A study based on GSM.

We compare the effect of blind and nonblind channel estimates on the performance of Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) receivers. More precisely, we investigate whether two blind approaches, based on higher order statistics (HOS), can compete with two conventional methods, exploiting trai...
