| Summary: | An efficient nonlinear channel estimation method for pilot-aided orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system is proposed in this work. The considered channel is selective in time and frequency domain, that is doubly selective channel. Wavelet transform based weighted twin support vector regression is used for channel frequency response estimation, which is suitable for the regression of nonlinear system. Different from traditional support vector regression algorithm, the proposed algorithm gives samples different weights according to their variance calculated based on wavelet transform. The weights are added into both first and quadratic terms of the objective functions to reduce the impact of outliers, which is likely to appear in the received pilot signal polluted by noise. The proposed channel estimation algorithm has good generalization ability and can reduce the influence of overfitting problem. The results of computational tests show that the proposed algorithm is with better estimating performance compared to the classical pilot-aided channel estimation methods.
