Low-complexity Iterative Sparse Channel Estimation for Underwater Acoustic OFDM Systems Based on Generalized Path Identification Algorithm

In mobile OFDM underwater acoustic communication systems, the compressed sensing-based sparse channel estimation methods suffer from high computational complexity, which is not suitable for real-time communication. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a Generalized Path Identification (GPI) algorithm for estimating uniform Doppler distorted channel. This scheme first constructs equivalent transmitted symbols using Doppler spread matrices, and thus the channel is converted into an equivalent linear time-invariant one. Then the GPI algorithm is utilized to estimate the channel parameters. Furthermore, the GPI algorithm is extended to Turbo receivers to iteratively improve the channel estimation accuracy. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional path identification algorithm, and is close to the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm. Its computational complexity, however, is much lower than OMP algorithm.
