Joint Multi-Domain Channel Estimation Based on Sparse Bayesian Learning for OTFS System

Since orthogonal time-frequency space(OTFS)can effectively handle the problems caused by Doppler effect in high-mobility environment,it has gradually become a promising candidate for modulation scheme in the next generation of mobile communication.However,the inter-Doppler interference(IDI)problem caused by fractional Doppler poses great challenges to channel estimation.To avoid this problem,this paper proposes a joint time and delayDoppler(DD)domain based on sparse Bayesian learning(SBL)channel estimation algorithm.Firstly,we derive the original channel response(OCR)from the time domain channel impulse response(CIR),which can reflect the channel variation during one OTFS symbol.Compare with the traditional channel model,the OCR can avoid the IDI problem.After that,the dimension of OCR is reduced by using the basis expansion model(BEM)and the relationship between the time and DD domain channel model,so that we have turned the underdetermined problem into an overdetermined problem.Finally,in terms of sparsity of channel in delay domain,SBL algorithm is used to estimate the basis coefficients in the BEM without any priori information of channel.The simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed channel estimation algorithm.

Inter-Carrier Interference-Aware Sparse Time-Varying Underwater Acoustic Channel Estimation Based on Fast Reconstruction Algorithm

In this paper,a fast orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP)algorithm based on optimized iterative process is proposed for sparse time-varying underwater acoustic(UWA)channel estimation.The channel estimation consists of calculating amplitude,delay and Doppler scaling factor of each path using the received multi-path signal.This algorithm,called as OIP-FOMP,can reduce the computationally complexity of the traditional OMP algorithm and maintain accuracy in the presence of severe inter-carrier interference that exists in the time-varying UWA channels.In this algorithm,repeated inner product operations used in the OMP algorithm are removed by calculating the candidate path signature Hermitian inner product matrix in advance.Efficient QR decomposition is used to estimate the path amplitude,and the problem of reconstruction failure caused by inaccurate delay selection is avoided by optimizing the Hermitian inner product matrix.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the computational complexity of the OIP-FOMP algorithm is reduced by about 1/4 compared with the OMP algorithm,without any loss of accuracy.

Fast Sparse Multipath Channel Estimation with Smooth L0 Algorithm for Broadband Wireless Communication Systems

Broadband wireless channels are often time dispersive and become strongly frequency selective in delay spread domain. Commonly, these channels are composed of a few dominant coefficients and a large part of coefficients are approximately zero or under noise floor. To exploit sparsity of multi-path channels (MPCs), there are various methods have been proposed. They are, namely, greedy algorithms, iterative algorithms, and convex program. The former two algorithms are easy to be implemented but not stable;on the other hand, the last method is stable but difficult to be implemented as practical channel estimation problems be-cause of computational complexity. In this paper, we introduce a novel channel estimation strategy using smooth L0 (SL0) algorithm which combines stable and low complexity. Computer simulations confirm the effectiveness of the introduced algorithm. We also give various simulations to verify the sensing training signal method.

Sparse Recovery of Linear Time-Varying Channel in OFDM System

In order to improve the performance of linear time-varying（LTV）channel estimation,based on the sparsity of channel taps in time domain,a sparse recovery method of LTV channel in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing（OFDM）system is proposed.Firstly,based on the compressive sensing theory,the average of the channel taps over one symbol duration in the LTV channel model is estimated.Secondly,in order to deal with the inter-carrier interference（ICI）,the group-pilot design criterion is used based on the minimization of mutual coherence of the measurement.Finally,an efficient pilot pattern optimization algorithm is proposed by a dual layer loops iteration.The simulation results show that the new method uses less pilots,has a smaller bit error ratio（BER）,and greater ability to deal with Doppler frequency shift than the traditional method does.

Sparse channel estimation for MIMO-OFDM systems using distributed compressed sensing

A sparse channel estimation method is proposed for doubly selective channels in multiple- input multiple-output （ MIMO ） orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （ OFDM ） systems. Based on the basis expansion model （BEM） of the channel, the joint-sparsity of MIMO-OFDM channels is described. The sparse characteristics enable us to cast the channel estimation as a distributed compressed sensing （DCS） problem. Then, a low complexity DCS-based estimation scheme is designed. Compared with the conventional compressed channel estimators based on the compressed sensing （CS） theory, the DCS-based method has an improved efficiency because it reconstructs the MIMO channels jointly rather than addresses them separately. Furthermore, the group-sparse structure of each single channel is also depicted. To effectively use this additional structure of the sparsity pattern, the DCS algorithm is modified. The modified algorithm can further enhance the estimation performance. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our method over fast fading channels in MIMO-OFDM systems.

Single color image super-resolution using sparse representation and color constraint

Color image super-resolution reconstruction based on the sparse representation model usually adopts the regularization norm(e.g.,L1 or L2).These methods have limited ability to keep image texture detail to some extent and are easy to cause the problem of blurring details and color artifacts in color reconstructed images.This paper presents a color super-resolution reconstruction method combining the L2/3 sparse regularization model with color channel constraints.The method converts the low-resolution color image from RGB to YCbCr.The L2/3 sparse regularization model is designed to reconstruct the brightness channel of the input low-resolution color image.Then the color channel-constraint method is adopted to remove artifacts of the reconstructed highresolution image.The method not only ensures the reconstruction quality of the color image details,but also improves the removal ability of color artifacts.The experimental results on natural images validate that our method has improved both subjective and objective evaluation.

Modulation Recognition with Frequency Offset and Phase Offset over Multipath Channels

Modulation recognition becomes unreliable at low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)over fading channel.A novel method is proposed to recognize the digital modulated signals with frequency and phase offsets over multi-path fading channels in this paper.This method can overcome the effects of phase offset,Gaussian noise and multi-path fading.To achieve this,firstly,the characteristic parameters search is constructed based on the cyclostationarity of received signals,to overcome the phase offset,Gaussian white noise,and influence caused by multi-path fading.Then,the carrier frequency of the received signal is estimated,and the maximum characteristic parameter is searched around the integer multiple carriers and their vicinities.Finally,the modulation types of the received signal with frequency and phase offsets are classified using decision thresholds.Simulation results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is better than the traditional methods when SNR is over 5dB,and that the proposed method is robust to frequency and phase offsets over multipath channels.

Emulation of Realistic Multi-Path Propagation Channels inside an Anechoic Chamber for Antenna Diversity Measurements

As antennas are inherently included recommended in Over-The-Air (OTA) testing, it is important to also consider realistic channel models for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) device performance evaluation. This paper aims to emulate realistic multi-Path propagation channels in terms of angles of arrivals (AoA) and cross-polarization ratio (XPR) with Rayleigh fading, inside an anechoic chamber, for antenna diversity measurements. In this purpose, a practical multi-probe anechoic chamber measurement system (MPAC) with 24 probe antennas (SATIMO SG24) has been used. However, the actual configuration of this system is not able to reproduce realistic channels. Therefore, a new method based on the control of the SG24 probes has been developed. At first time, this method has been validated numerically through the comparison of simulated and analytical AoA probability density distributions. At the second time, the performance of an antenna diversity system inside the SG24 has been performed in terms of the correlation coefficient and diversity gain (DG) using an antenna reference system. Simulated and measurements results have shown a good agreement.

基于吉布斯采样的稀疏水声信道估计方法

The estimation of sparse underwater acoustic(UWA)channels can be regarded as an inference problem involving hidden variables within the Bayesian framework.While the classical sparse Bayesian learning(SBL),derived through the expectation maximization(EM)algorithm,has been widely employed for UWA channel estimation,it still differs from the real posterior expectation of channels.In this paper,we propose an approach that combines variational inference(VI)and Markov chain Monte Carlo(MCMC)methods to provide a more accurate posterior estimation.Specifically,the SBL is first re-derived with VI,allowing us to replace the posterior distribution of the hidden variables with a variational distribution.Then,we determine the full conditional probability distribution for each variable in the variational distribution and then iteratively perform random Gibbs sampling in MCMC to converge the Markov chain.The results of simulation and experiment indicate that our estimation method achieves lower mean square error and bit error rate compared to the classic SBL approach.Additionally,it demonstrates an acceptable convergence speed.
