In this paper, online deep learning (DL)-based channel estimation algorithm for doubly selective fading channels is proposed by employing the deep neural network (DNN). With properly selected inputs, the DNN can not only exploit the features of channel variation from previous channel estimates but also extract additional features from pilots and received signals. Moreover, the DNN can take the advantages of the least squares estimation to further improve the performance of channel estimation. The DNN is first trained with simulated data in an off-line manner and then it could track the dynamic channel in an online manner. To reduce the performance degradation from random initialization, a pre-training approach is designed to re fine the initial parameters of the DNN with several epochs of training. The proposed algorithm bene fits from the excellent learning and generalization capability of DL and requires no prior knowledge about the channel statistics. Hence, it is more suitable for communication systems with modeling errors or non-stationary channels, such as high-mobility vehicular systems, underwater acoustic systems, and molecular communication systems. The numerical results show that the proposed DL-based algorithm outperforms the existing estimator in terms of both efficiency and robustness, especially when the channel statistics are time-varying.
