Abstract :
A blind symbol estimation technique for digital communication is developed by exploiting a special data structure of the oversampled channel output. The proposed method achieves direct symbol estimation without determining the channel characteristics. Moreover, if the transmitting symbols belong to a finite set of alphabets, the new approach can be extended to handle multiple sources.<>
