Generalized Approximate Message Passing for Massive MIMO mmWave Channel Estimation With Laplacian Prior

This paper tackles the problem of millimeter-wave (mmWave) channel estimation in massive MIMO communication systems. A new Bayes-optimal channel estimator is derived using recent advances in the approximate belief propagation Bayesian inference paradigm. By leveraging the inherent sparsity of the mmWave MIMO channel in the angular domain, we recast the underlying channel estimation problem into that of reconstructing a compressible signal from a...
