Twin Support Vector Regression for complex millimetric wave propagation environment

In this article, an effective millimetric wave channel estimation algorithm based on Twin Support Vector Regression (TSVR) is proposed. This algorithm exploits Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in order to denoise samples in learning phase and then enhance fitting performance. An indoor complex conference room environment full of furniture and electronic equipments is adopted for experiments. Through the proposed approach, channel frequency responses are directly estimated using the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) reference symbol pattern by solving two quadratic programming problems in order to improve generalization aptitude and computational speed. We consider in this work a Channel Impulse Response (CIR) of 60 GHz multipath transmission system generated by the “Wireless InSite” ray tracer by Remcom. The numerical experiments confirm the performance of the proposed approach compared to other conventional algorithms for several configuration scenarios with and without mobility.
