Description
Résumé:For applications like smart cities and autonomous driving, high-precision direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for 5G broadband signals is essential. A primary obstacle for existing methods is the spatial incoherence caused by multi-frequency propagation. We present a sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) algorithm specifically designed to resolve this issue while also minimizing computational load. The algorithm synergistically combines three key components: first, a multiple-signal classification (MUSIC)-like focusing technique ensures a coherent sparse model; second, a real-valued transformation significantly cuts down on computational complexity; and third, an optimized variational Bayesian inference accelerates convergence via root-finding. Validation against MUSIC and rootSBL confirms our method’s marked superiority in low-SNR, limited-snapshot, and multipath conditions delivering both higher accuracy and faster convergence. This work, thus, contributes an effective and practical solution for real-time 5G DOA sensing.
