  • In modern communication systems, having an accurate channel estimator is crucial. However, when there is mobility, it becomes difficult to estimate the channel and the pilot signals, which are used for channel estimation, become insufficient. In this paper, we introduce the use of Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) with data pilot-aided (DPA) channel estimation and temporal averaging (TA) to estimate vehicle-to-vehicle same direction with Wall (VTV-SDWW) channels. The TCN-DPA-TA estimator showed an improvement in Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of up to 1 order of magnitude. Furthermore, the BER performance of the TCN-DPA without TA also improved by up to 0.7 magnitude compared to the best classical estimator.
