Communication receiver with an adaptive equalizer that uses channel estimation

摘要

In a wireless communication system, a method for estimating a transmitted signal is disclosed. A wireless signal is received that includes a pilot channel and at least one other channel. A transmitted signal is estimated using an equalizer and the received wireless signal. Taps of a filter of the equalizer are adapted through use of a channel estimate. The channel estimate is calculated from the pilot channel. The pilot channel and the at least one other channel are separated.
