Abstract
Methods and devices for receiving wireless signals employ compressed sensing-based estimation techniques to receive single-carrier transmissions, exploiting the common sparseness of the wireless channel, enabling signal reception in the presence of significant Delay and Doppler spreads. When implemented for an ATSC or ATSC-M/H mobile TV standard signal, the compressed sensing channel estimation algorithm enables data reception in Delay and Doppler spread conditions beyond the capabilities of conventional channel estimation methods.
