Title
Channel Estimation for Uniform Rectangular Array Based Massive MIMO Systems With Low Complexity
Abstract
In this paper, a low complexity channel estimation method is proposed for <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">two-dimensional</italic> (2-D) massive MIMO systems with <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">uniform rectangular arrays</italic> of antennas. Instead of assuming independent fading between different transmit–receive antenna pairs, an array-structure-based physical channel model that characterizes the realistic scattering environments via the angles and gains associated with different propagation paths is studied. A 2-D <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Fourier-transform</italic> (FT) based on elevation and azimuth steering factors is applied to derive the spatial spectrum of received signals in angular domain at <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">base station</italic> . Based on the spectrum analysis, the spatial spectrum of the received data is used to estimate the channel parameters, including <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">direction of arrival</italic> (incident azimuth and elevation angles) and the path amplitude of each resolvable path. Since the channel coefficients are estimated in spatial domain and the proposed 2-D FT can be realized by <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">fast-Fourier-transform</italic> , the computational complexity is reduced significantly. Simulation results are provided to verify the accuracy and the complexity of the proposed scheme.
