Abstract
Blind source separation (BSS) is the process of using multiple
sensors to separate multiple random signals from a received linear
combination. In this paper, we apply blind source separation
techniques to mixtures of digital communications signals. We
predict the achievable symbol error rate when the signals are
received on the same carrier frequency and blindly separated. In a
wireless environment where the sources are mobile or the environment
is changing, the mixing matrix will vary with time. Our primary
contribution is that we identify the major source of error in
separation. We extend an adaptive step size algorithm to the
complex-valued case to mitigate the errors in a dynamic environment.
