Abstract:

With the explosive growth of communication devices, channel environments become increasingly complicated, which increases the pilot overhead of conventional channel estimation methods to maintain the estimation accuracy. However, the added extra overhead will lead to a decrease of system throughput. To solve this problem in the OFDM system, a channel estimation method based on the generative adversarial network (GAN) is first proposed. Then, the GAN model is used to learn the mapping relationship between the low-dimensional latent vector and the real channel samples. Finally, a joint pilot configuration and channel estimation optimization problem is considered to be solved.
