The invention discloses a half-blind channel estimation method for joint cooperative clustering of a cloud wirelessaccess network and belongs to the field of the cloud wirelessaccess network. The method comprises the specific steps that all users send pilot and data information to remote radio units; after the pilot and data information is amplified by the remote radio units, own pilot information of the remote radio units is superposed with the amplified information; the information is forwarded to a centralized basebandprocessing unit pool; the centralized basebandprocessing unit pool processes the information to obtain channel state information; cooperative clusters are divided for the remote radio units; combination-split operation is carried out; utility functions corresponding to different clustering modes are evaluated, thereby obtaining the optimum clustering mode; corresponding processing is carried out on the received information of various clusters in the centralized baseband processing unit pool through utilization of the half-blind channel estimation method, thereby obtaining independent channel state information of access links and forward links; and data information is demodulated. According to the method, the pilot cost required by channel estimation is effectively reduced, and the data transmission efficiency of the cloud wirelessaccess network is clearly improved.
