description Channel estimation in massive-MIMO FSO systems is critical for ensuring reliable data transmission. However, conventional estimators offer limited benefits due to the computational difficulty of accurately estimating the channel. This paper presents a novel approach to estimate channels using an attention residual U-Net (ARU-Net) architecture which utilizes the advantages of both attention and residual connection. In the simulation, the channel matrix has been represented as a 2D image. The proposed model significantly outperforms traditional channel estimation methods and other deep learning models in terms of MSE (10−5 at 25 dB SNR), especially in atmospheric turbulence and other noises.
