Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose a new sparse channel estimator robust to impulsive noise environments. For this kind of estimator, the convex regularized recursive maximum correntropy (CR-RMC) algorithm has been proposed. However, this method requires information about the true sparse channel to find the regularization coefficient for the convex regularization penalty term. In addition, the CR-RMC has a numerical instability in the finite-precision cases that is linked to the inversion of the auto-covariance matrix. We propose a new method for sparse channel estimation robust to impulsive noise environments using an iterative Wiener filter. The proposed algorithm does not need information about the true sparse channel to obtain the regularization coefficient for the convex regularization penalty term. It is also numerically more robust, because it does not require the inverse of the auto-covariance matrix.
