A wireless communication apparatus is provided. The wireless communication apparatus includes a denoising circuit configured to receive a noisy complex channel vector(s) in a spatial domain and convert the noisy complex channel vector(s) into a noisy beamspace-domain vector(s) in a beamspace domain. The denoising circuit determines an optimal denoising parameter and denoises the noisy beamspace-domain vector(s) based on the optimal denoising parameter to generate a denoised beamspace-domain vector(s). The denoising circuit then converts the denoised beamspace-domain vector(s) to a denoised complex channel vector(s) in the spatial domain. In examples discussed herein, the denoising circuit determines the optimal denoising parameter and denoises noisy beamspace-domain vector(s) based on a lower-complexity denoising algorithm having reduced computational complexity compared to existing denoising methods, thus helping to enable more accurate channel estimation in the wireless communication apparatus with reduced cost, footprint, and/or power consumption.
