Abstract:

In massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, the complexity of channel estimation algorithm increases rapidly with the increase of the number of antennas on the base station side. To solve the problem of tradeoff between the complexity of channel estimation algorithm and the performance of the algorithm, a distributed compressed sensing linear minimum mean square error (DCS-LMMSE) algorithm is proposed. The algorithm takes advantage of the space-time co-sparseness of the channel. Firstly, the received signals are divided into dense part and sparse part according to the prior support set information. Then, the different algorithms are used to estimate the initial channel. Finally, singular value decomposition is used to replace the inverse of channel correlation matrix to further reduce the complexity of DCS-LMMSE algorithm. Compared with the traditional LMMSE algorithm, the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the pure compressed sensing sparse channel estimation algorithm.
