  This letter presents a novel Block Bayesian Hypothesis Testing Algorithm
(Block-BHTA) for reconstructing block sparse signals with unknown block
structures. The Block-BHTA comprises the detection and recovery of the
supports, and the estimation of the amplitudes of the block sparse signal. The
support detection and recovery is performed using a Bayesian hypothesis
testing. Then, based on the detected and reconstructed supports, the nonzero
amplitudes are estimated by linear MMSE. The effectiveness of Block-BHTA is
demonstrated by numerical experiments.
