MIMO systems in the context of 6G Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) will require an accurate channel knowledge to enable efficient communication. Standard channel estimation techniques, such as Unconstrained Maximum Likelihood (U-ML), are extremely noisy in massive MIMO settings, while structured approaches, e.g., compressed sensing, are sensitive to hardware impairments. We propose a novel multi-vehicular algebraic channel estimation method for 6G V2X based on unsupervised learning which exploits recurrent vehicle passages in typical urban settings. Multiple training sequences from different vehicle passages are clustered via K-medoids algorithm based on their algebraic similarity to retrieve the MIMO channel eigenmodes, which can be used to improve the channel estimates. Numerical results show the presence of an optimal number of clusters and remarkable benefits of the proposed method in terms of Mean Squared Error (MSE) compared to standard U-ML solution (15 dB less).

Abstract
MIMO systems in the context of 6G Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) will require an accurate channel knowledge to enable efficient communication. Standard channel estimation techniques, such as Unconstrained Maximum Likelihood (U-ML), are extremely noisy in massive MIMO settings, while structured approaches, e.g., compressed sensing, are sensitive to hardware impairments. We propose a novel multi-vehicular algebraic channel estimation method for 6G V2X based on unsupervised learning which exploits recurrent vehicle passages in typical urban settings. Multiple training sequences from different vehicle passages are clustered via K-medoids algorithm based on their algebraic similarity to retrieve the MIMO channel eigenmodes, which can be used to improve the channel estimates. Numerical results show the presence of an optimal number of clusters and remarkable benefits of the proposed method in terms of Mean Squared Error (MSE) compared to standard U-ML solution (15 dB less).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
