An embodiment of a method for channel estimation for an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing communication system, including estimating a Time Domain Least Squares channel impulse response having a given maximum number of L taps based on a channel covariance matrix Q, and for each tap l=1, . . . , L a respective channel impulse response in the time-domainĥl, wherein the channel impulse responses in the time-domain are grouped as a channel impulse response vector in the time domainĥ. Specifically, an updated channel-impulse-response vector in the time domain {tilde over (h)} is determined by computing for each tap l the solution of the following system: Q1:l, 1:l{tilde over (h)}l×1=ĥ1:l, wherein the updated channel-impulse-response vector in the time domain {tilde over (h)} is computed recursively via a Levinson Durbin algorithm.
