Abstract

A blind symbol estimation technique for digital communications is developed by exploiting 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 co-channel sources
