上行3D-MIMO中利用结构稀疏低秩特性的信道估计算法

Structured Sparse and Low Rank Channel Estimation in Uplink 3D-MIMO

3维多输入多输出(3D-MIMO)系统能有效提升频谱效率,提高系统容量。但用户数和天线数的剧增,无法保证所有用户的导频都正交,给3D-MIMO信道估计带来估计精度下降和复杂度增加等问题。该文分析了上行3D-MIMO系统信道的结构稀疏特性和低秩特性,并基于这些特性提出一种信道估计算法,给出了算法的收敛性和复杂度。仿真结果表明估计算法能准确地恢复3D-MIMO的信道系数,并有较低的复杂度。

Three Dimension Multi-Input Multi-Output （3D-MIMO） systems can effectively improve frequency efficiency and system capacity. However, with the growing number of antennas and users, pilot sequences are non- orthogonal, which will affect the accuracy of 3D-MIMO channel estimation and increase complexity. In this paper, the structured sparseness and low rank property of 3D-MIMO channel are studied. By taking advantage of these properties, a channel estimation algorithm is proposed, and the convergence and complexity of the algorithm are analyzed. Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm can accurately recover 3D-MIMO channel with low complexity.
