Abstract: In multiple-input multiple-output–orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing underwater acoustic communication systems, the correlation of the sampling matrix is the key of the channel estimation algorithm based on compressed sensing. To reduce the cross-correlation of the sampling matrix and improve the channel estimation performance, a pilot design algorithm for co-sparse channel estimation based on compressed sensing is proposed in this article. Based on the time-domain correlation of the channel, the channel estimation is modeled as a common sparse signal reconstruction problem. When replacing each pilot indices position, the algorithm selects multiple pilot indices with the least cross-correlation from the alternative positions to replace the current pilot indices position, and it uses the inner and outer two-layer loops to realize the bit-by-bit optimal replacement of the pilot. The simulation results show that the channel estimation mean squared error of pilot design algorithm for co-sparse channel estimation based on compressed sensing can be reduced by approximately 18 dB compared with the least square algorithm. Compared with the genetic algorithm and search space size methods, the structural sequence search proposed by pilot design algorithm for co-sparse channel estimation based on compressed sensing is used to design the pilot to complete the channel estimation. Thus, the mean squared error of the channel estimation can be reduced by 2 dB. At the same bit error rate of 0.03, the signal-to-noise ratio can be decreased by approximately 7 dB.
