Description
Summary:In this paper blind equalization algorithms based on digital watermarking are presented. Training sequence is sent along with the data in the form of watermark. Robust CDMA based watermarking algorithm is used to watermark the data. Watermark, which is spread over the data, does not consume extra bandwidth. So with the help of extracted watermark channel can be equalized just by using simple mean square algorithm. Two algorithms for equalization are proposed in this paper. In algorithm I the receiver does not require to know training sequence in advance. Using algorithm II, the sender does not require to send training sequence either, and data can still be equalized using simple LMS algorithm at low computational complexity.
