                                        A novel semi-blind channel estimation was devised to jointly estimate the channel matrices of all links in a three-hop multiple-input multiple-output relay system. A PARAFAC and a PARATUCK2 tensor model of the received signal were constructed, and the proposed algorithm used a two-stage iterative fitting al-gorithm for tensor model. The ALS algorithm was used to fit the PARAFAC tensor model in the process of esti-mating the compound channel matrix. Then the TALS algorithm was used to fit the PARATUCK2 tensor model in the process of extracting all the sub-channel matrices. The proposed algorithm could loose the limitation on the number of antennas at the destination node. Moreover, compared with existing methods, the proposed al-gorithm could avoid error propagation as well as improve the spectral efficiency with few pilots. Numerical ex-amples demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
