Summary:In this paper, an adaptive algorithm is proposed for the estimation and tracking of the channel coefficients in peer-to-peer communication through a network of relays. Using the observed signals at the relay and destination nodes, the channel state information (CSI) is estimated centrally by taking advantage of a Markov model for the source-relay and relay-destination channels, and employing the Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF). The estimated CSI is used for solving a robust relay beamforming problem, aiming to minimize the total transmitted power by the relays subject to signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) constraint at each one of the destination nodes. Through simulations, the proposed CSI estimation is shown to be unbiased and converge to the Cramer-Rao-Lower-Bound (CRLB) for low and moderate error levels. Furthermore, the ensuing beamformer design exhibits better performance compared to existing robust beamforming methods.
