Instead of piloting the spaceship, he will serve as a guinea pig for medical tests to determine the effects of weightlessness on an aging body.

The principle is to use feedback from the receiver to the transmitter instead of using pilots in the downstream signal.

In more details, the code structure, i.e., the sensing matrix X which is known at the receiver, may be used for both frame synchronization and fine clock recovery, instead of using pilot symbols.

In addition, instead of transmitting pilot signals in the intermediate step (ii), the optimal receive beamformers can be estimated during the data transmission using some blind estimation method (see [38] and references therein).
