Regularization Factor Selection Method for l1-Regularized RLS and Its Modification against Uncertainty in the Regularization Factor

Abstract

This paper presents a new l1-RLS method to estimate a sparse impulse response estimation. A new regularization factor calculation method is proposed for l1-RLS that requires no information of the true channel response in advance. In addition, we also derive a new model to compensate for uncertainty in the regularization factor. The results of the estimation for many different kinds of sparse impulse responses show that the proposed method without a priori channel information is comparable to the conventional method with a priori channel information.
