Improved adaptive sparse channel estimation based on the least mean square algorithm

Least mean square (LMS) based adaptive algorithms have been attracted much attention since their low computational complexity and robust recovery capability. To exploit the channel sparsity, LMS-based adaptive sparse channel estimation methods, e.g., zero-attracting LMS (ZA-LMS), reweighted zero-attracting LMS (RZA-LMS) and L
p
- norm sparse LMS (LP-LMS), have also been proposed. To take full advantage of channel sparsity, in this paper, we propose several improved adaptive sparse channel estimation methods using L
p
-norm normalized LMS (LP-NLMS) and L
0
-norm normalized LMS (L0-NLMS). Comparing with previous methods, effectiveness of the proposed methods is confirmed by computer simulations.
