Sparse channel estimation explores the sparse property of wireless channels, which reduces the pilot overhead and further improves the spectrum efficiency. This paper investigates the sparse channel estimation in cognitive radio systems as well as the pilot optimization therein, and the channel estimation is formulated as a sparse recovery issue. With the objective to minimize the cross correlation of the measurement matrix, a fast pilot optimization algorithm is then proposed. By flexibly setting the number of outer loop and inner loop, each entry of pilot pattern can be sequentially updated and optimized. Simulation resul
