Abstract

Channel estimation is crucial in millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems. The conflict between high angular resolution and heavy training overhead is a bottleneck to apply beam training-based channel estimation schemes such as hierarchical search and compressed sensing. In this paper, a novel two-stage adaptive high-resolution channel estimation (AHRCE) approach is proposed for mmWave system. In the first stage, hierarchical search based on normal-resolution codebooks is exploited to acquire the coarse estimated multipath components (MPCs). The number of measurements can be dynamically adjusted among training levels. In the second stage, a sparse signal recovery method to achieve high-resolution angles of departure (AoDs) and angles of arrival (AoAs) is introduced. The accurately estimated channel is estimated without quantization error by calculating a set of ratio metrics. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme achieves a more efficient tradeoff between the training overhead and mean square error (MSE) performance in broader SNR region than the other existing method.
