Abstract
In this paper we propose a novel semiblind scheme based on second and fourth order statistics of Space–Time data in time varying MIMO channels This scheme combines a new blind estimator of frequency offsets and an iterative decoder Space–Time Codes have a periodic property which is used to find a simple and efficient blind estimator of carrier offsets The iterative decoder is a data aided decoder which provides the best estimates of channel noise covariance and S–T data in its category As a result of this the new semiblind scheme performs very efficiently in timeselective channels and is able to reduce the training overhead required by the dataaided estimators to a large extent and increase the effective throughput
