Multichannel-compressive estimation of doubly selective channels in MIMO-OFDM systems: Exploiting and enhancing joint sparsity

We propose a compressive estimator of doubly selective channels within pulse-shaping multicarrier MIMO systems (including MIMO-OFDM as a special case). The use of multichannel compressed sensing exploits the joint sparsity of the MIMO channel for improved performance. We also propose a multichannel basis optimization for enhancing joint sparsity. Simulation results demonstrate significant advantages over channel-by-channel compressive estimation.
