An Optimized Sequence for Sparse Channel Estimation in a 5G MIMO System

ABSTRACT

Recently, the massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system has been integrated with machine learning approaches to realise automatic channel state information detection. These methods need high computational complexity due to the lack of optimal training sequences and the failure to control the sparsity assembly based on massive MIMO. Moreover, it does not consider optimised training sequences based on a compressive sensing approach in the presence of contamination. Thus, this paper proposed an enhanced deep learning model with an optimised pilot training sequence for sparse channel estimation in a 5 G massive MIMO system. Initially, the system and sparse block channel impulse response model will be constructed by considering the time-domain synchronous Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) system and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). In the proposed work, a seagull optimisation algorithm is developed to design the training pilot sequence depending on the coherence properties of the sensing matrix, which is used to recover the channel impulse response. Then, the sparse massive MIMO channel is evaluated by proposing a new deep channel estimator with an enhanced stacked auto encoder (D-ESAE). The proposed channel MSE is 10⁻⁶, the bit error rate is 0.04, and NMSE is 10⁻⁹ at 40 dB SNR through Matlab simulation.
