The invention discloses a low-order recurrence 
least mean square error estimation for an 
MIMO-OPDM channel, which relates to the 
wireless transmission technical field. After a 
pilot frequency is used to insert in to obtain a recurrence least square 
estimation of a time-varying channel 
fading, the channel 
fading is decomposed into a 
signal subspace and a 
noise subspace by adopting a subspace tracking method of being capable of tracking singular values and singular vectors under the non-stationary complicated 
noise, then an order-reduction is made according to the quantity of main singular values to obtain an auto-correlation matrix of the channel 
fading, and a 
least mean square error estimation with higher precision is obtained through the recurrence. The invention has the characteristics of having 
computation complexity of decreasing 
algorithm, higher estimation accuracy as well as good robustness and applicability, and being capable of providing channel estimation and self-adaptive 
equalization proposals of systems such as 
third generation (3G) 
cell mobile communication, beyond 
third generation (B3G) 
cell mobile communication, fourth generation (4G) 
cell mobile communication and digital TVs, 
wireless local area networks (WLAN), 
wireless wide area networks (WWAN) and so on, with an important theoretical evidence and a concrete realization method and so on.
