Industrial applications can produce significant amounts of data that require low delay and high data rate communications. Multiple-input-multiple-output filter bank multicarrier (MIMO-FBMC) communications employing offset quadrature amplitude modulation has been proposed for industrial big data due to its reliability and high spectrum efficiency. One of the difficulties in implementing a MIMO-FBMC system is accurate channel estimation (CE). The main factor affecting the CE performance is intrinsic imaginary interference, and the conventional preamble-based CE is not effective in this case. Thus, in this article, a low-complexity sparse adaptive CE scheme is proposed that is based on a dynamic threshold. This reduces the number of inner product calculations by considering only the columns of the measurement matrix greater than the threshold. Simulation results are presented that show that the proposed …
