A physical model of a wireless transmission channel in the time domain usually consists of the main propagation path and only a few reflections. The reasonable assumptions made about the channel model can improve its parameters’ estimation by a greedy OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) equalizer. The equalizer works flawlessly if delays between propagation paths are in the sampling grid. Otherwise, the channel impulse response loses its compressible characteristic and the number of coefficients to find increases. It is possible to get back to the simple channel model by data oversampling. The paper describes how the above idea helps the OMP (Orthogonal Matching Pursuit) algorithm estimate channel coefficients. The authors analyze the oversampling algorithm on the one hand to assess the influence of filtering function and signal resolution on the quality of the channel impulse response reconstruction. On the other hand, the abilities of the OMP algorithm are analyzed to distinguish components of the oversampled signal. Based on these analyses, we proposed modifications to the compressible channel’s impulse response reconstruction algorithm to minimize the number of transmission errors. A distinction was made between the filters used in the OMP search and channel reconstruction stages before calculating equalizer coefficients. Additionally, the results of the search stage were considered as elements within the groups. Full article

The beamforming technique has attracted considerable attention in wireless communication due to its various advantages such as interference reduction and improved wireless resource efficiency. However, the beam alignment between transmitting and receiving devices, which is fundamentally required for the beamforming, poses a significant challenge due to the continuous variability of the wireless channel. Recently, a deep learning-based technique has been proposed to predict narrow beam indices by measuring wide beams. However, there is room for improvement in the performance of the neural network architecture employed in this technique. Therefore, we suggest a novel deep learning model architecture that incorporates a channel attention module for beam training. The simulation results show a significant enhancement in performance with our scheme compared to both a state-of-the-art approach and other existing methods across all scenarios. Particularly, we confirm that even when reducing the number of wide beams used for measurement by approximately 50%, our proposed approach achieves a performance close to that of the state-of-the-art scheme.
