This thesis presents a closed-form, blind channel estimation scheme for Alamouti's and other orthogonal STBC. Unlike other blind channel estimation algorithms u

"The application of transmit diversity techniques such as Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) to the downlink of multiuser wireless communications systems has receiv

In this dissertation, we present novel batch algorithms to tackle the multi-path fading effect of the wireless channels using convex optimization tools. We cons
