Apparatus and method for estimating channel in mobile communication system

摘要

An apparatus and a method for estimating a channel in a mobile communication system are provided. The apparatus includes a channel estimation unit for determining a channel estimation value using a channel power for each of a plurality of fingers, and a noise estimation unit for selecting a scheme for estimating a thermal noise power according to a channel environment among schemes for determining a plurality of thermal noise powers, and for estimating a noise using the channel estimation value in the selected scheme.
