In this paper, a fast temporal multiple sparse Bayesian learning (FTMSBL)-based channel estimation method for underwater acoustic (UWA) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed, which is optimized using the fast marginalized likelihood maximization method. The algorithm fully uses the consistent sparse structure and tim...
