J. H. Manton and W. D. Neumann: “Totally blind channel identification by exploiting guard intervals,” Systems Control Lett. 48 : 2 (2003), pp. 113–119. MR 2011871 Zbl 1134.94303 article

Blind identification techniques estimate the impulse response of a channel by exploiting known finite alphabet or statistical properties of the transmitted symbols. Alternatively, oversampling the output is known to introduce dependencies also exploitable for channel identification. This paper proves the feasibility of estimating the channel by relying instead on the short sequences of zeros, known as guard intervals or zero padding, introduced between transmitted blocks by a number of communication protocols. Since no property of the transmitted information symbols is assumed, the method is called totally blind channel identification. It is proved that totally blind channel identification requires only two received blocks to estimate the channel.

J. H. Manton, W. D. Neumann, and P. T. Norbury: “On the algebraic identifiability of finite impulse response channels driven by linearly precoded signals,” Systems Control Lett. 54 : 2 (2005), pp. 125–134. MR 2109579 Zbl 1129.93358 article

It is common in wireless communications to perform some form of linear precoding operation on the source signal prior to transmission over a channel. Although the traditional reason for precoding is to improve the performance of the communication system, this paper draws attention to the fact that the receiver can identify the impulse response of the channel without any prior knowledge of the transmitted signal simply by solving a system of polynomial equations. Since different precoders lead to different systems of equations, this paper addresses the fundamental issue of determining which classes of linear precoders lead to a system of equations having a unique solution. In doing so, basic properties of polynomial equations which are useful for studying other identifiability issues commonly encountered in engineering and the applied sciences are presented.
