Abstract:

In the 5G era, with the growth of mobile devices and network traffic, the generation of large-scale machine-type communications, and the combination of space-based satellite networks and terrestrial cellular backbone networks, mobile wireless communication system uses broader frequency spectrum. It results in a more visible sparsity of the channel, which enables the compressed sensing technology to be used in wireless communication. The existing compressed sensing channel estimation algorithm is improved by the negative entropy maximization algorithm and lp regularization. The traditional mean square error of the minimization error function is replaced by the negative entropy of the maximization objective function to accommodate the non-Gaussian noise of the channel. Sparse constraints use more precise lp regularization to enhance the sparse representation of channel estimation algorithms. Research shows that the algorithm can not only improve the accuracy of channel estimation, but also enhance the robustness against noise. On the other hand, fewer pilots can be used to achieve more accurate channel estimation, which has the effect of improving system spectrum utilization.
