Abstract :
Multipath fading is a random process with memory. This memory can be exploited by using a Markov chain model and can be used in the estimation of the fading process. In the paper, a first order vector Markov chain model is used to represent the frequency selective Rayleigh fading process. A suboptimum receiver based on the Markov chain model is then given
