Effective channel order determination is an important problem in convolutive blind channel identification. The classical techniques are based on information theoretic criteria, which show a great potentiality to estimate the effective channel order. However, these methods are just effective for the overdetermined case, i.e., the number of sensors is larger than the number of source signals. When the number of sensors is less than or equal to the number of source signals, i.e., in the underdetermined or determined case, it is difficult to detect the effective channel order. In this paper, an improved algorithm is proposed to estimate the effective channel order by integrating numerical analysis arguments and higher-order cumulant tensor. In the proposed algorithm, we exploit the information contained in the higher-order data statistics and rearrange the tensor as a matrix using the unfolding operation, then utilize the eigenvalues of the matrix and combine numerical analysis arguments to detect the effective channel order. Finally, a series of experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm. |
