Estimation of Symmetric Channels for Discrete Cosine Transform Type-I Multicarrier Systems: A Compressed Sensing Approach

الملخص EN

The problem of channel estimation for multicarrier communications is addressed.

We focus on systems employing the Discrete Cosine Transform Type-I (DCT1) even at both the transmitter and the receiver, presenting an algorithm which achieves an accurate estimation of symmetric channel filters using only a small number of training symbols.

The solution is obtained by using either matrix inversion or compressed sensing algorithms.

We provide the theoretical results which guarantee the validity of the proposed technique for the DCT1.

Numerical simulations illustrate the good behaviour of the proposed algorithm.
