The next generation of communication technology is accelerating the transformation of industrial internet of things (IIoT). Filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM), as a candidate wireless transmission technology for beyond fifth generation (5G), has been widely concerned by researchers. However, effective channel estimation (CE) in IIoT communication should be solved. In practice, wireless channels have block–sparse structures. For the conventional sparse channel model, the general sparse channel estimation methods do not take the potential block–sparse structure information into account. In this paper, we have investigated the sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) framework for sparse multipath CE in FBMC/OQAM communications. Block SBL (BSBL) algorithm is proposed to estimate the channel performance by exploiting the block–sparse structure of sparse multipath …
