Interferer parameter estimation method and apparatus

摘要

Interference is estimated in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing system by receiving at a wireless receiver pilot symbols and data symbols transmitted in time and frequency via resource blocks, detecting a first one of the data symbols transmitted to the wireless receiver via a time-frequency resource element of a first one of the resource blocks and identifying a second one of the resource blocks adjacent the first resource block having related interference parameters. The interference is estimated based on the pilot symbols transmitted via the first resource block and the pilot symbols transmitted via the second resource block.
