Attention Transformer enhances OFDM channel estimation with reduced complexity

Researchers have developed an Attention-aided MMSE (A-MMSE) framework that utilizes an Attention Transformer to learn linear MMSE filters for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) channel estimation. This novel approach allows for channel estimation through a single linear operation post-training, significantly reducing computational complexity during inference by eliminating nonlinear activations. The A-MMSE framework incorporates a two-stage Attention encoder to capture frequency and temporal correlations and includes a rank-adaptive extension for resource-constrained environments. Numerical simulations indicate that A-MMSE outperforms existing methods across various signal-to-noise ratio conditions, offering an improved performance-complexity trade-off. AI

IMPACT This research offers a more computationally efficient method for channel estimation in OFDM systems, potentially improving performance in wireless communication receivers.
