Abstract
In this paper, we consider the uplink of the narrowband multicell multiuser massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In traditional approaches, orthogonal pilots among users of all (interfering) cells are utilized to estimate their channels assumed to be constant during channel coherence time. However, in multicell scenarios, such schemes suffer from pilot contamination. In order to address this issue, based on asymptotic pairwise orthogonality of the users' channels in massive regime, blind channel estimation schemes have been proposed. On the other hand, such schemes rely on low interference or high signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels, to achieve reliable performance. Inspired...

Abstract
This paper concerns the maximum-likelihood channel estimation for MIMO systems with orthogonal space-time block codes when the finite alphabet constraint of the signal constellation is relaxed. We study the channel coefficients estimation subspace generated by this method. We provide an algebraic characterisation of this subspace which turns the optimization problem into a purely algebraic one and more importantly, leads to several interesting analytical proofs. We prove that with probability one, the dimension of the estimation subspace for the channel coefficients is deterministic and it decreases by increasing the number of receive antennas up to a certain critical number of receive...
