Abstract
Abstract—A new technique for blind tracking of fast-fading channels in long-code code division multiple access (CDMA) is proposed by exploiting multipath diversity. Based on a linear interpolation channel model, the proposed method blindly identifies a time-varying channel at arbitrary estimating points within a block up to a scale factor and increases bandwidth efficiency allowing only one pilot symbol within a block, which is much larger than channel coherence time. The proposed method can be implemented using an efficient state-space inversion technique for multiuser cases. The mean square error (MSE) performance of the proposed estimator is compared with the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) for interpolated channel. Modeling error and bit error rate (BER) are also evaluated using Monte-Carlo simulations and compared with the block fading model and a decision-directed tracking technique. Index Terms—Channel estimation and tracking, fast-fading, interpolation, long-code CDMA, pilot symbols. I.
