  • Publication number: 20250080192
    Abstract: A method for estimating a beam domain channel in a spatial non-stationary massive MIMO system includes constructing a beam domain channel model for the spatial non-stationary massive MIMO system by using a visibility region; transforming a problem for estimating the beam domain channel into a problem for reconstructing a sparse channel based on a sparsity of beam domain channel and an influence of power leakage; proposing a beam domain structure-based sparsity adaptive matching pursuit scheme according to a cross-block sparse structure and a power ratio threshold of the beam domain channel; and verifying that the proposed scheme has a lower pilot overhead, a higher accuracy and a higher effectiveness compared to the traditional schemes in simulation results. The method can be effectively applied to communication channel estimation with non-stationary characteristics, and has obvious advantages in estimation accuracy and complexity.
