Blind sequential detection for Rayleigh fading channels using hybrid Monte Carlo-recursive identification algorithms

Detection of data transmitted over a Rayleigh fading channel, where the channel is unknown, has been a problem of interest for many researchers. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for joint detection and channel estimation for Rayleigh fading channels. Our algorithm combines Monte Carlo sampling with classical recursive identification methods. The channel is modeled as an autoregressive process, which allows for representation of the communication system by a dynamic state space model. A more accurate modeling of the channel, especially in fast fading along with exploitation of time diversity in the received signal, is also considered. Simulation results illustrating the effectiveness of this algorithm are presented.
