Single-channel blind source separation (SCBSS) of uncoordinated, non-spread, co-frequency interfering multi-user signals is a challenging task. When the multi-user signals have sampling frequency offset (SFO) due to the imperfection of the local oscillator (LO), this problem becomes even more difficult to be solved. In this letter, a select-stitch data-aided channel estimation (CE) initialized per-survivor processing (SS-DCE-PSP) algorithm is proposed for SCBSS of multi-user signals with SFOs caused by imperfect LOs. By dividing a long sequence into a number of segments and selecting the segments with highest detection reliability to stitch together, the time slip and symbol slip due to the non-identical SFOs can be resolved. The data-aided CE in SS-DCE-PSP further enhances the performance of PSP, especially for the initial symbols. Simulation results show that the proposed SS-DCE-PSP algorithm is robust to the normalized SFO up to 10-4, and the BERs obtained by the SS-DCE-PSP algorithm are close (within 0.5dB) to the BERs obtained for multi-user signals without SFOs.
