A system and method for communicating in a power line communications (PLC) network (100) using Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. Pilot tones are carried by the OFDM symbols according to a predetermined pattern. A receiving device (105-1, 105-2) identifies pilot tones on each frequency. A group of previously received pilot tones on a selected frequency are filtered to generate a channel estimate for a tone on the selected frequency in a new symbol. The channel estimates on two different frequencies within an OFDM symbol may be interpolated to determine a channel estimate for a third frequency with the OFDM symbol.
