Sparsity adaptive channel estimation algorithm based on compressive sensing for massive MIMO systems by Li-jun GE, Hui GUO, Yue LI, Lan ZHAO

“…A sparsity-adaptive channel estimation algorithm based on compressive sensing was proposed for massive MIMO systems when the number of channel multi-paths was unknown.By exploiting the joint sparsity characteristics of the sub-channels，the proposed block sparsity adaptive matching pursuit (BSAMP) algorithm first selected atoms by setting a threshold and finding the position of the maximum backward difference，which reduces the energy dispersion caused by the non-orthogonality of the observation matrix and improves the performance of the algorithm.Then a regularization method was utilized to improve the stability of the algorithm.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm recovers the channel state information accurately and shows a high computational efficiency.…”
