    Abstract: Compressive sensing (CS) channel recovery using history measurements. Both current and history measurements for AoAs estimation, and only use current measurement for coefficient estimation. The dominant angle of arrival (AoA) is estimated using history and current measurements. In Approach 1, the dominant AoA is invariant and the coefficients are uncorrelated. In Approach 2, the dominant AoA is invariant and the coefficients are fully correlated. The remaining AoAs are estimated. The coefficients corresponding to each estimated dominant AoA are estimated. And the channel is recovered.
