Communication unit and pilot method for time varying channels

摘要

A wireless communication unit for recovering transmit data comprises a receiver for receiving a signal comprising a data payload and at least two pilots, wherein at least a first pilot type of the at least two pilots is different to a second pilot type of the at least two pilots. The wireless communication unit further comprises a processor arranged to: extract at least one pilot of the first pilot type from the received signal; and recover the data payload from the received signal using the extracted at least one pilot of the first pilot type.
