Hybrid Message Passing Channel Estimation Algorithm for Massive MIMO-OFDM Systems

In this letter, we propose the Bernoulli two-state Gaussian mixture (B-TSGM) probability model to characterize the angle-delay domain (ADD) channel of the massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system. Based on the hybrid message passing (HMP) rule, we design the HMP-B-TSGM channel estimation algorithm under the structured turbo-compressed sensing (STCS) framework. Simulation results show that the considered model better captures the channel characteristics, and the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art methods under a wide range of simulation settings while having the same complexity.
