Channel estimation; OFDM; Deep learning;
Current neural network solutions for channel estimation are frequently tested by training and testing on one example channel or similar channels. However, data-driven algorithms often degrade significantly on other channels which they are not trained on, because they cannot extrapolate their training knowledge. Online training can fine-tune the offline-trained neural networks to compensate for this degradation, but its feasibility is challenged by the tremendous computational resources required.

The drawback of inter-subcarrier interference in OFDM systems makes the channel estimation and signal detection performance of OFDM systems with few pilots and short cyclic prefixes (CP) poor. Thus, we use deep learning to assist OFDM in recovering nonlinearly distorted transmission data. Specifically, we use a self-normalizing network (SNN) for channel estimation, combined with a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) for signal detection, thus proposing a novel SNN-CNN-BiGRU network structure (SCBiGNet).
