A Sparse CoSaMP Channel Estimation Algorithm With Adaptive Variable Step Size for an OFDM System [PDF]
International Journal of Aerospace EngineeringCompressive sampling matching pursuit (CoSaMP), as a conventional algorithm requiring system sparsity and sensitive to step size, was improved in this paper by approximating the sparsity with adaptive variable step size. In the proposed algorithm (CoSaMP
