LSTM projected layer neural network-based signal estimation and channel state estimator for OFDM wireless communication sys

Abstract

Advanced wireless communication technologies, such as 5G, are faced with significant challenges in accurately estimating the transmitted signal and characterizing the channel. One of the major obstacles is the interference caused by the delay spread, which results from receiving multiple signal copies through different paths. To mitigate this issue, the orthogonal frequency division modulation (OFDM) technique is often employed. Efficient signal detection and optimal channel estimation are crucial for enhancing the performance of multi-carrier wireless communication systems. To this end, this paper proposes a Long Short Term Memory-Projected Layer (LSTM-PL) deep neural network(DNN) based channel estimator to detect received OFDM signal. The results show that the LSTM-PL algorithm outperforms traditional methods such as Least Squares(LS), Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and other LSTM deep learning channel estimation methods like Long Short Term Memory(LSTM)-DNN and Bidirectional-LSTM(Bi-LSTM)-DNN, as evidenced by Symbol-Error Rate (SER) outcomes.
