Abstract

To achieve fast and computationally simplified channel estimation, we proposea maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) based ``diagonal matrix approximation''(DMA) scheme which provides an effective solution to overcome the conflictbetween estimation accuracy, acquisition time, and complexity. Together withover sampling, the proposed scheme exhibits a performance approaching theCramér-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB), while keeping computational complexitylinear to the signal dimensions. The DMA scheme can still perform well evenwhen the sample estimate of the covariance matrix, due to insufficient numberof observation samples, is singular. Therefore, the proposed scheme is aviable solution for fast channel estimation.
