Description
Summary:For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, an adaptive pilot design algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed.The pilot design problem was formulated as a Markov decision process, where the index of pilot positions was defined as actions.A reward function based on mean squared error (MSE) reduction strategy was formulated, and deep reinforcement learning was employed to update the pilot positions.The pilot was adaptively and dynamically allocated based on channel conditions, thereby utilizing channel characteristics to combat channel fading.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has significantly improved channel estimation performance compared with the traditional pilot uniform allocation scheme under three typical multipath channels of 3GPP.
