Title
Blind detection of the number of communication signals under spatially correlated noise by ICA and K-S tests
Abstract
The issue addressed in this paper is the determination of the number of communication signals in a sensor array. Most of the available algorithms rely on the spatial uncorrelation of the additive noise. In practice, this condition is rarely sat- isfied when the receivers are not sufficiently spaced (MIMO communications for example). In this paper, we propose a new method to detect the number of communication signals based on the fact that the signals are independent and non gaussian and that the background noise is gaussian. By us- ing an Independent Component Analysis in conjunction with Kolomogorov-Smirnov (K-S) tests, the method can detect as many communication signals as the number of receiver an- tennas. Simulations results show that our method performs well in many environments like those with spatially correlated noise.
