Abstract
Orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS) modulation has garnered significant attention in wireless communications, particularly in high-mobility scenarios, due to its exceptional resilience to Doppler shifts. While the delay-Doppler domain channel estimation is mostly considered for reliable communication, it is often hindered by fractional Doppler shifts in complex channel conditions. To overcome this challenge, this paper proposes a model-driven channel estimation network (CENet) for accurate channel estimation in the delay-time (DT) domain, with the initial least-squares (LS) solutions as prior information for training. Specifically, a LS-driven CENet with parallel structure is proposed to efficiently handle the high-dimensional DT domain channel matrix, which enables the row-wise training and estimation with fast convergence. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed CENet significantly outperforms the conventional LS and deep neural network-based methods.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the Transactions is threefold (which was approved by the IEEE Periodicals Committee in 1967) and is published on the journal website as follows: Communications: The use of mobile radio on land, sea, and air, including cellular radio, two-way radio, and one-way radio, with applications to dispatch and control vehicles, mobile radiotelephone, radio paging, and status monitoring and reporting. Related areas include spectrum usage, component radio equipment such as cavities and antennas, compute control for radio systems, digital modulation and transmission techniques, mobile radio circuit design, radio propagation for vehicular communications, effects of ignition noise and radio frequency interference, and consideration of the vehicle as part of the radio operating environment. Transportation Systems: The use of electronic technology for the control of ground transportation systems including, but not limited to, traffic aid systems; traffic control systems; automatic vehicle identification, location, and monitoring systems; automated transport systems, with single and multiple vehicle control; and moving walkways or people-movers. Vehicular Electronics: The use of electronic or electrical components and systems for control, propulsion, or auxiliary functions, including but not limited to, electronic controls for engineer, drive train, convenience, safety, and other vehicle systems; sensors, actuators, and microprocessors for onboard use; electronic fuel control systems; vehicle electrical components and systems collision avoidance systems; electromagnetic compatibility in the vehicle environment; and electric vehicles and controls.
