Abstract: The MIMO-OFDM technique is considered as one of the promising techniques in the future wireless system.In this paper, a new MIMO-OFDM channel model that has robustness to cope with channel order overestimation is proposed.Next a subspace based blind channel estimation algorithm for the new model is also presented.Simulation results show that the new algorithm has a faster convergence rate and better estimation performance.

Key words: blind channel estimation, subspace method, MIMO-OFDM
