By increasing the number of antennas, the size and weight of massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) become much larger and heavier, respectively. To deal with these problems, the 3GPP standardization group captured the multipanel in New Radio communications. Channel estimation is needed for accurate uplink signal recovery and downlink precoding of massive MIMO. Due to the use of hybrid structure and the nonuniform distribution of the antenna arrays, the conventional channel estimation methods cannot be used in multipanel massive MIMO. In this paper, we propose the channel estimation for the millimeter-wave multipanel MIMO systems in multiuser environments, in which the channel estimation problem is transformed to an angular domain block sparse signal recovery problem. In the following, we solve the obtained sparse model using the proposed generalized block orthogonal matching pursuit method. Also, the proper pilot sequence is designed in the proposed method. Finally, we check the accuracy of the proposed estimation algorithm, which simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed method compared to that of the classic method.
