Compressive tracking of doubly selective channels in multicarrier systems based on sequential delay-Doppler sparsity

We propose a compressive method for tracking doubly selective channels within multicarrier systems, including OFDM systems. Using the recently introduced concept of modified compressed sensing (MOD-CS), the sequential delay-Doppler sparsity of the channel is exploited to improve estimation performance through a recursive estimation mode. The proposed compressive channel tracking algorithm uses a MOD-CS version of OMP with reduced complexity. Simulation results demonstrate substantial performance gains over conventional compressive channel estimation.
