Gridless Angular Domain Channel Estimation for mmWave Massive MIMO System With One-Bit Quantization Via Approximate Message Passing

원문 초록

We develop a direction of arrival (DoA) and channel estimation algorithm for the one-bit quantized millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. By formulating the estimation problem as a noisy one-bit compressed sensing problem, we propose a computationally efficient gridless solution based on the expectation-maximization generalized approximate message passing (EMGAMP) approach. The proposed algorithm does not need the prior knowledge about the number of DoAs and outperforms the existing methods in distinguishing extremely close DoAs for the case of one-bit quantization. Both the DoAs and the channel coefficients are estimated for the case of one-bit quantization. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has effective estimation performances when the DoAs are very close to each other.
