<p>Noise variance estimation in wireless communications. Noise variance estimation includes receiving a signal 402 including an OFDM symbol having, in-band tones including in-band pilot tones, and band-edge tones including band-edge pilot tones and guard tones, estimating an effective noise variance for the in-band tones 702 using the in-band pilot tones and channel estimates for the in-band pilot tones, and estimating an effective noise variance for the band-edge tones 704 using the band-edge pilot tones, channel estimates for the band-edge pilot tones, and the guard tones.</p> |
