Abstract:

Accurate channel estimation is the key to enhance the transmission performance of communication systems. In this letter, we propose a multi-slot conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) based on Swin Transformer called MSTGAN for channel estimation in a single-input single-output (SISO) scenario. Specifically, the proposed MSTGAN could learn the temporal correlation feature from continuous channel slots by the 3D convolution and extract the deep feature well by the Swin Transformer to improve the accuracy of channel estimation. The model is trained with data augmentation to reduce the computational cost for offline training. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) method and other deep learning methods. Furthermore, extension schemes of the MSTGAN to the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) case are also provided.
