Prediction error methods for time-domain blind identification of multichannel FIR filters

Blind channel identification methods based on the oversampled channel output is a problem of theoretical and practical interest. It is first demonstrated that the subspace methods developed in Moulines are not robust to errors in the determination of the model order. An alternative solution is then proposed, based on a linear prediction approach. The effect of overestimating the channel order is investigated by simulations: it is demonstrated that the prediction error method is “robust” to over-determination
