This paper introduces an improved variational bayes (Improved-VB) receiver algorithm for joint signal detection, noise covariance matrix estimation and channel impulse response (CIR) tracking in MIMO-OFDM systems over time varying channels. The variational bayes (VB) framework and turbo principle are combined to accomplish the parameter estimation and data detection. In the proposed Improved-VB receiver, a modified linear minimum mean-square-error interference cancellation (LMMSE-IC) soft detector is developed based on the VB theory, which adaptively sets the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) clipping value according to the reliability of detection on each subcarrier to mitigate the error propagation. Following the signal detection, an adaptive noise covariance matrix estimator is derived for the effective noise covariance estimation. Furthermore, in order to track time varying channels, a VB softinput Kalman filter (VB-Soft-KF) is first derived. However, unreliable soft symbols introduce outliers, which degrade the performance of VB-Soft-KF. To tackle this problem, we propose a robust VB softinput Kalman filter (VB-Robust-KF) based on the Huber M estimation theory. Finally, the performance The material has been presented in parts at IEEE PIMRC 2010, Istanbul, Turkey, Sep. 26-30.

Abstract. This paper is devoted to the study and implementation of real-time techniques for the estimation of time-varying, contingently correlated quantities, and relevant uncertainty. An estimation algorithm based on a metrological customization of the Kalman filtering technique is presented, starting from a Bayesian approach. Moreover, a fuzzy-logic routine for real-time treatment of possible outliers is incorporated in the overall software procedure. The system applicability is demonstrated by results of simulations performed on dimensional measurement models.

This work addresses state estimation in presence of outliers in observed data. Outlying data and measurements have a most relevant impact in many control and signal processing applications including marine systems related ones: underwater navigation systems exploiting acoustic data, for example, are frequently affected by outlying measurements. Other on-board sensors and devices are likely to produce measurements contaminated by outlier because of the harsh operating conditions of marine systems. Given the general interest for dealing with measurement outliers in a number of applications, this paper describes a state estimation solution exhibiting robustness to output outliers. The system model is assumed to be linear (either time varying or time invariant) discrete time. The proposed observer is designed by extending an outlier robust static parameter identification algorithm to the case of a linear dynamic plant. The designed estimator has a predictor/corrector structure like the Kalman filter and the Luenberger observer. Simulation and experimental results are provided illustrating the robustness of the derived solution to measurement outliers as compared with the Kalman filter. The proposed solution is also compared with alternative outlier robust state estimation filters showing its effectiveness, in particular, in the presence of measurements outliers occurring in a consecutive sequence. Because of its deterministic execution time and limited numerical complexity, the proposed state estimator can be readily applied in real-time applications. Figure 4. Noisy output with outliers (depicted as blue stars, D 0:2) and non-outliers in grey generated through the model in (41). [Colour figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com] The LEL Filter column refers to the interval of singular values over 3000 Monte Carlo runs assuming outliers generated through the model in (41). LEL, least entropy like.with synthetic and real data have been discussed showing the potentiality of the proposed filter as compared with the standard KF. Comparison with alternative robust filtering approaches have shown its robustness to sequences of successive measurement outliers as well. The proposed robust LEL filter may be exploited in real-time applications because of its limited and predictable (i.e. deterministic) computational effort.
