Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have gained a lot of attention from researchers in the past few years and have been employed on a large scale. They have also been gaining momentum in wireless communication systems. For efficient vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channel communication, a sparse multipath channel issue must be studied. To minimize the multipath effect, a time reversal (TR) operation and time division synchronization orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) have been appealing because of their fast synchronization and active spectral efficiency. To improve the transceiver's execution in a frequency-selective fading channel environment, an OFDM system is used to reduce inter- symbol interference (ISI). Simultaneous Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (SOMP) channel state estimator algorithm suffer from high computational cost and high computational complexity. The ANN algorithm has better performance than SOMP algorithm. The proposed neural network technologies have lower complexity than the SOMP algorithm. The application of ANN is capable of solving complex problems, such as those encountered in image, signal processing and have been implemented for channel estimation in OFDM. The proposed ANN outperformed the SOMP algorithm with regard to signal compensation. Overall, the ANN algorithm achieved the best performance. This study proposes an ANN-based sparse channel state estimator. Regarding the bit error rate (BER) metric, the proposed estimator outperforms the channel estimation approach based on the SOMP. The simulation results confirm the efficacy of the proposed approach.
