Abstract:

For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, a hybrid model and data driven channel estimation algorithm was proposed.Combined with two existing channel estimation methods, including a low complex learning-based channel estimation method and the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimation, the estimator with the ability was facilitated to employ online training to improve estimation performance.Meanwhile, the pilot overhead consumed by generating online training data was saved due to the use of the model-based method in the proposed algorithm, which improved the spectrum efficiency.The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has better performance under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and better adaptation to practical imperfections compared with conventional channel estimation methods.

Key words: machine learning, hybrid model and data driven, OFDM, channel estimation
