Abstract

This paper developed an improved OMP-based dual-sparsity channel estimation method (D-OMP) to address two critical challenges in RIS-assisted communication systems: excessive pilot resource consumption and channel interference from abnormal users (users with weight ≤ 0.1) . The proposed algorithm fully utilized the dual-sparsity characteristics of the cascaded channel in the angular domain and refined the three-stage D-OMP framework: (1) jointly estimating the multi-user common row support by replacing mean with median energy detection to effectively suppress abnormal-user interference; (2) introducing multi-user weighting to optimize the partially common column support; and (3) adaptively pruning abnormal users via multi-user weighting coefficients to optimize user-specific column support. Simulation results indicates that the algorithm reduces pilot overhead while achieving more than 3 dB NMSE improvement over conventional OMP, and the method maintains stable performance under both low-SNR conditions and abnormal-user interference, significantly enhancing system robustness. By combining dual-sparsity joint estimation with an abnormal-user suppression mechanism, this work enables computationally efficient channel estimation for dense RIS deployments.
