Robust Estimation in Rayleigh Fading Channels Under Bounded Channel Uncertainties (1209.6405v1)

Abstract: We investigate channel equalization for Rayleigh fading channels under bounded channel uncertainties. We analyze three robust methods to estimate an unknown signal transmitted through a Rayleigh fading channel, where we avoid directly tuning the equalizer parameters to the available inaccurate channel information. These methods are based on minimizing certain mean-square error criteria that incorporate the channel uncertainties into the problem formulations. We present closed-form solutions to the channel equalization problems for each method and for both zero mean and nonzero mean signals. We illustrate the performances of the equalization methods through simulations.
