Thank you Eric! As far as I see from my search for the basics of sparse
signal representation, for example y=QX where X is the sparse signal that
we are trying to estimate it, there is a dictionary matrix which I am
confused about and am in difficulty understanding the logic behind it.
Appreciate if you could also help me understanding this.
Thanks again!

Usually in DSP "sparse" just means that you don't have a
fully-populated set of data for the space it may need to fill. That
may or may not mean that something is "undersampled", and often it
does not mean that.
In the case of a channel matrix for, for example, a MIMO system, it
may mean that the matrix is not fully populated but is populated
enough to get good results.
In a SISO OFDM system sparse channel estimation may mean that you have
occassional pilot tones for channel estimation, but that they do not
occupy or sample all of the subcarriers so that some interpolation is
needed between them.
Compressive sensing is another topic that probably has additional
points of view on the term "sparse".
You probably need to be a little more specific about what you're
trying to do.

Hi,
I am actually new in sparse signal processing and first trying to get the
basics of the sparse signals. In OFDM systems the sparse channel is
estimated by using some sparse signal processing algorithms
such as compressive sensing.
Could anyone please explain me how to model the sparse channel/sparse
signal in OFDM systems? What is the logic behind the sparse
representation?
Thanks in advance!
