ML parameter estimation

For long observation intervals, mean-square error (MSE) of ML estimate converges to Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRB) on MSE

Computation of CRB is hard when data symbols are not a priori known to receiver. Simpler but less tight bound : modified CRB (MCRB) (assumes data symbols are known to receiver)

Reduced-complexity EM algorithm

For each EM iteration, MAP detector is iterated till convergence computational complexity too high

Solution : “merging” of EM iterations and MAP detector iterations.For each EM iteration, only one MAP detector iteration is performed,without resetting MAP detector reduced complexity (at expense of reduced convergence speed)
