TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING CHANNEL ESTIMATION AND TRACKING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A technique for performing channel tracking and/or channel estimation in a wireless communication device includes receiving a reference signal and one or more non-error propagation physical channel signals. In general, the one or more non-error propagation physical channel signals must be correctly decoded before a data channel can be decoded. Channel tracking and/or channel estimation are/is then performed based on the reference signal and at least one of the one or more non-error propagation physical channel signals.
