Publication number: 20230328637Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system for multiple-input multiple-output for blind identification that includes receiving an input signal, originated as an output signal of a transmitter, at a receiver. A signal processing module can obtain the input signal from the receiver. The signal processing module can use a finite impulse response filter and one or more matrices derived from the input signal to minimize a cost function and obtain a parameter matrix. The parameter matrix can then be used to estimate the output signal by generating one or more Toeplitz matrices using the parameter matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: KING FAHD UNIVERSITY OF PETROLEUM AND MINERALSInventors: Abdulmajid LAWAL, Karim ABED-MERAIM, Qadri MAYYALA, Naveed IQBAL, Azzedine ZERGUINE

Patent number: 9837991Abstract: The adaptive filter for sparse system identification is an adaptive filter that uses an algorithm in the feedback loop that is designed to provide better performance when the unknown system model is sparse, i.e., when the filter has only a few non-zero coefficients, such as digital TV transmission channels and echo paths. The algorithm is a least mean square algorithm with filter coefficients updated at each iteration, as well as a step size that is also updated at each iteration. The adaptive filter may be implemented on a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or by field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: KING FAHD UNIVERSITY OF PETROLEUM AND MINERALSInventors: Muhammad Omer Bin Saeed, Azzedine Zerguine
