Abstract

Traditional semi-blind channel estimator is based on eigen value decomposition (EVD) or singular value decomposition (SVD), which effectively reduces the interference through dividing the observed signal into signal subspace and noise subspace. Due to the large computation, Massive MIMO systems could not afford the cost of traditional algorithms in spite of the high performance. In this paper, we propose a channel estimation algorithm based on subspace tracking, in which the signal subspace is obtained by approximating power iteration algorithm. Without sacrificing the estimation performance, the complexity is greatly reduced compared with the traditional semi-blind channel estimation algorithm, which improves the applicability of the estimator.
