Channel Estimation for Millimeter-Wave Massive MIMO With Hybrid Precoding Over Frequency-Selective Fading Channels

This letter proposes a multi-user uplink channel estimation scheme for mmWave massive MIMO over frequency selective fading (FSF) channels. Specifically, by exploiting the angle-domain structured sparsity of mmWave FSF channels, a distributed compressive sensing-based channel estimation scheme is proposed. Moreover, by using the grid matching pursuit strategy with adaptive measurement matrix, the proposed algorithm can solve the power leakage problem caused by the continuous angles of arrival or departure. Simulation results verify the good performance of the proposed solution.
