This invention relates to a
MIMO channel
estimation method based on a
diffusion model and expectation propagation under low-resolution quantized observations. It involves acquiring a quantized
observation matrix, a
pilot matrix, and historical
channel data. A denoising
diffusion implicit model is employed, and the prior distribution of the
MIMO channel matrix is learned unsupervised through forward
noise addition to obtain the channel prior
score function. To address the nonlinear constraints introduced by the quantized
observation matrix, a posterior distribution satisfying the quantization interval constraints is constructed, and the expectation propagation
algorithm is used to iteratively approximate it as a
Gaussian distribution, calculating the likelihood gradient. Combined with the prior
score function, the likelihood gradient is integrated into the inverse sampling process of the denoising
diffusion implicit model. Using the quantized
observation matrix and
pilot matrix as guiding conditions, the initial
noise is gradually sampled to a channel
estimation result consistent with the quantized observations through gradient guidance. Compared with existing technologies, this invention has advantages such as high accuracy, strong versatility, and good stability.
