文摘A two-dimensional （2-D） polynomial regression model is set up to approximate the time-frequency response of slowly time-varying orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing （OFDM） systems. With this model the estimation of the OFDM time-frequency response is turned into the optimization of some time-invariant model parameters. A new algorithm based on the expectation-maximization （EM） method is proposed to obtain the maximum-likelihood （ML） estimation of the polynomial model parameters over the 2-D observed data. At the same time, in order to reduce the complexity and avoid the computation instability, a novel recursive approach （RPEMTO） is given to calculate the values of the parameters. It is further shown that this 2-D polynomial EM-based algorithm for time-varying OFDM （PEMTO） can be simplified mathematically to handle the one-dimensional sequential estimation. Simulations illustrate that the proposed algorithms achieve a lower bit error rate （BER） than other blind algorithms.
