Abstract

In a millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) large MIMO system, hybrid precoding is a critical component for lowering radio-frequency hardware costs as compared to the traditional full-digital precoding strategy. Knowledge of channels is required for hybrid precoding. Though, estimation of the channel is problematic for the mm-Wave system because of the usage of a massive array of antenna and hybrid architecture with analog precoding. Due to the extremely directed nature of wireless propagation, wireless channels have spatial sparsity. In this paper, we exploit this spatial sparsity nature of wireless channels to develop orthogonal matching pursuit technique-based estimation of channels for hybrid millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) wireless systems. Genie (Ideal) channel estimation is also performed in which we presume that actual angle of departures (AoD) and angle of arrivals (AoA) are known to us. Finally, the simulation results reveal that suggested OMP algorithm-based channel estimation has a significant advantage over conventional approaches like least-squares channel estimation.
