A periodic low power training sequence is superimposed on the information sequence at the transmitter. The channel parameters can be estimated without consuming any extra system bandwidth, but an unknown information sequence can interfere with the ST channel estimation method, so in this paper, an iterative method was adopted to improve estimation performance. An underwater acoustic channel＇s properties include large channel dimensions and a sparse structure, so a matching pursuit （MP） algorithm was used to estimate the nonzero taps, allowing the performance loss caused by additive white Gaussian noise （AWGN） to be reduced. The results of computer simulations show that the proposed method has good channel estimation performance and can reduce the peak-to-average ratio of the OFDM channel as well.展开更多

Finally, the sparse reconstruction problem is solved by the improved M-FOCUSS method, which is applied to the situation of block of matrices. This method outperforms its data domain counterpart in terms of noise suppression, and has a better performance in DOA estimation than the customary spatial smoothing technique. Simulation results verify the efficacy of the proposed method.展开更多

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.展开更多

In this method, the sparse time-frequency distribution of the radar echo is obtained by solving a sparse optimization problem based on the short-time Fourier transform. Then Hough transform is employed to estimate the parameter of the targets. The proposed algorithm has the following advantages： Compared with the Wigner-Hough transform method, the computational complexity of the sparse optimization is low due to the application of fast Fourier transform（FFT）. And the computational cost of Hough transform is also greatly reduced because of the sparsity of the time-frequency distribution. Compared with the high order ambiguity function（HAF） method, the proposed method improves in terms of precision and robustness to noise. Simulation results show that compared with the HAF method, the required SNR and relative mean square error are 8 dB lower and 50 dB lower respectively in the proposed method. While processing the field experiment data, the execution time of Hough transform in the proposed method is only 4% of the Wigner-Hough transform method.展开更多

Compared with state-of-the-art greedy algorithms, the proposed algorithm incorporates the restricted isometry property and variable step-size, which is utilized for sparsity estimation and reduces the reconstruction time, respectively. Based on the sparsity estimation, the initial value including sparsity level and support set is computed at the beginning of the reconstruction, which provides preliminary sparsity information for signal reconstruction. Then, the residual and correlation are calculated according to the initial value and the support set is refined at the next iteration associated with variable step-size and backtracking. Finally, the correct support set is obtained when the halting condition is reached and the original signal is reconstructed accurately. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves the recovery performance and considerably outperforms the existing algorithm in terms of the running time in sparse signal reconstruction.展开更多

文摘In this paper,in order to reduce the energy leakage caused by the discretized representation in sparse channel estimation for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM)systems,we systematically have analyzed the optimal locations of atoms with discrete delays for each path reconstruction from the perspective of linear fitting theory.Then,we have investigated the adverse effects of the non-ideal inner product function on the iteration in one of the most widely used channel estimation method,Orthogonal Matching Pursuit(OMP).The study shows that the distance between the selected atoms for each path in OMP can be larger than the sampling interval,which prevents OMP-based methods from achieving better performance.To overcome this drawback,the image deblurring-based channel estimation method,in which the channel estimation problem is analogized to one-dimensional image deblurring,was proposed to improve the large compensation distance of traditional OMP.The advantage of the proposed method was validated by the results of numerical simulation and sea trial data decoding.

文摘To improve the reconstruction performance of the greedy algorithm for sparse signals, an improved greedy algorithm, called sparsity estimation variable step-size matching pursuit, is proposed. Compared with state-of-the-art greedy algorithms, the proposed algorithm incorporates the restricted isometry property and variable step-size, which is utilized for sparsity estimation and reduces the reconstruction time, respectively. Based on the sparsity estimation, the initial value including sparsity level and support set is computed at the beginning of the reconstruction, which provides preliminary sparsity information for signal reconstruction. Then, the residual and correlation are calculated according to the initial value and the support set is refined at the next iteration associated with variable step-size and backtracking. Finally, the correct support set is obtained when the halting condition is reached and the original signal is reconstructed accurately. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves the recovery performance and considerably outperforms the existing algorithm in terms of the running time in sparse signal reconstruction.

文摘The deep convolutional neural network(CNN)is exploited in this work to conduct the challenging channel estimation for mmWave massive multiple input multiple output(MIMO)systems.The inherent sparse features of the mmWave massive MIMO channels can be extracted and the sparse channel supports can be learnt by the multi-layer CNN-based network through training.Then accurate channel inference can be efficiently implemented using the trained network.The estimation accuracy and spectrum efficiency can be further improved by fully utilizing the spatial correlation among the sparse channel supports of different antennas.It is verified by simulation results that the proposed deep CNN-based scheme significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art benchmarks in both accuracy and spectrum efficiency.

文摘Channel state information(CSI)is very important to sparse code multiple access combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(SCMA-OFDM)systems for data detection.The main goal of this paper is to tackle the computational complexity and pilot overhead issues when estima-ting and tracking the channel frequency response of each user in uplink SCMA-OFDM systems.To this end,a new binary pilot structure is first designed to realize the initial channel estimation with significantly reduced computational complexity.Then,a channel tracking method is proposed to update the channel estimation in time-varying channels,which exploits a modified least mean square(LMS)technique with the feedback from the detector.Simulation results show that the pro-posed pilot structure can provide accurate channel estimation results.Moreover,the average bit error rate(BER)performance of the modified LMS algorithm can approach that of a detector with perfect CSI within 2 dB at the normalized Doppler frequency up to 6×10^(-6).

文摘In response to the issues of poor adaptability to low signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs)in existing uniform linear array(ULA)multitarget estimation algorithms and the difficulty of current deep learning methods in effectively extracting complex-valued features from data,a cross-scale sparse attention module and a channel-hierarchical spatial pyramid attention module,which are based on the MSPANet block,are introduced into the deep neural network(DNN).This approach better extracts multiscale features of signalling components,facilitating accurate signal feature extraction under low SNR conditions.Experimental data demonstrate that this deep learning model can significantly enhance the accuracy and anti-jamming capability of direction-of-arrival(DOA)estimation in low-signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)scenarios,outperforming traditional methods such as CBF,MUSIC,and ESPRIT.The above optimization achievements possess important practical value for DOA estimation applications in fields like intelligent speech,radar detection,communication systems,and autonomous driving.

文摘Sparse array design has significant implications for improving the accuracy of direction of arrival(DOA)estimation of non-circular(NC)signals.We propose an extended nested array with a filled sensor(ENAFS)based on the hole-filling strategy.Specifically,we first introduce the improved nested array(INA)and prove its properties.Subsequently,we extend the sum-difference coarray(SDCA)by adding an additional sensor to fill the holes.Thus the larger uniform degrees of freedom(uDOFs)and virtual array aperture(VAA)can be abtained,and the ENAFS is designed.Finally,the simulation results are given to verify the superiority of the proposed ENAFS in terms of DOF,mutual coupling and estimation performance.
