A Novel Channel Estimation Algorithm for Underwater Acoustic Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

To decrease the computational complexity and improve the performance of channel estimation for underwater acoustic (UWA) sparse multipath channels, a sparse least square (SLS) channel estimation algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm combines advantages of both generalized akaike information criterion (GAIC) estimation and estimation using effective order of channel impulse response (CIR). Known pilot data is used to estimate effective order of CIR and then the position of taps of CIR is estimated. In order to adapt to the environment with low SNR and reduce the dimension of signal space, adaptive threshold is also used. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method has good performance of channel estimation and low complexity.
