Summary: | Many conventional adaptive channel estimation methods are based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion, maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) or least p-norm criterion. However, these criteria are not always desirable in the presence of the various kinds of noises in different wireless channels. To further enhance the adaptability of the channel estimation to different noises, this paper introduces a new criterion named generalized maximum correntropy criterion (GMCC), and calculates the estimated channel parameters using the fixed-point iteration. The convergence analysis of the fixed-point iteration based on GMCC is discussed theoretically and is verified by experiments. More experiments are implemented to show the steady-state performance of the algorithm under different noise environments and the guide of parameter selection is provided.
