在本篇研究中我們提出一個盲式資料估測器的低複雜度方案。在本篇論文中我們採用廣義可能性比率測試(Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test, GLRT)資料檢測器，但由於傳統廣義可能性比率測試(Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test, GLRT)資料檢測器的計算複雜度太高，因此在先前的研究中有提出子載波分組切割的方案。在文獻中提到子載波的大小不能小於通道階數的限制，因此我們提出了一個新的在廣義可能性比率測試(Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test, GLRT)資料檢測器上的子載波分組切割的想法，使用子載波連續切割的方式，讓子組的通道長度可以視為更小，突破文獻中交錯切割子組時，子載波大小必須要大於通道長度的限制，使得在做分組的GLRT資料檢測的時候可以讓子組的大小更小，藉此讓複雜度進一步降低。
此外我們把原先的OFDM系統架構推廣到SFBC-OFDM (Space Frequency Block Code Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)系統上，發現到在經過SFBC編碼後在做GLRT資料檢測的時候除了既有的相位模糊(Phase Ambiguity)問題之外，還會有額外的編碼模糊(Code Ambiguity)問題。先前的研究是使用領航訊號(Pilot Signal)解決相位模糊問題，在本篇研究中，我們提出一種利用調變的方式同時解決兩種模糊性問題。
模擬結果顯示我們提出的方法可以同時解決這兩種模糊性問題，並且透過子載波連續切割的方式可以降低系統的運算複雜度，同時我們使用的旋轉星座點的方法不會損失頻寬效益也不用加領航訊號，可以稱作完全的盲式(Totally Blind)估測。

In this research, a low-complexity blind data detector scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is proposed, where the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) approach is adopted. The traditional GLRT data detector (GDD) suffers from prohibitively high computational complexity since all the subcarriers are jointly considered. Therefore, previous studies proposed a sub-group GDD (SGDD) by progressively dealing with a subgroup of subcarriers at one time. It is shown that, the unique solution of SGDD is guaranteed if the size of sub-group is larger than the order of channel impulse response (CIR). In this study, we proved that the size of SGDD can be even smaller than the channel order if the partition meets some requirements. Furthermore, the proposed partition method is extended to SFBC-based MIMO-OFDM systems. It is worth noting that, most of the SFBC, including Alamouti-SFBC, are rotatable, which leads to a code ambiguity. In this research, we introduce an asymmetric modulation to solve this problem. Simulation results show that the computational complexity is significantly reduced by adopting this novel sub-carrier partition scheme. In addition, the code ambiguity and sign ambiguity, which require extra pilot symbols in existing literatures, can be simultaneously solved by our proposed asymmetric modulation without sacrificing any bandwidth efficiency.
