CHANNEL ESTIMATION USING A MINIMIZED CHANNEL PREDICTION INTERVAL

摘要

A receiver (300) configured for: a) receiving (410) a first OFDM symbol and generating a plurality of demodulated symbols (306) for the first OFDM symbol: b) generating (420) decoder output code symbols (326) corresponding to a subset of the plurality of demodulated symbols; c) determining (430) that a set of (he decoder output code symbols (326) make up a set of reference symbols corresponding to at least a portion of the subset of the plurality of demodulated symbols (306); d) generating (440) the set of reference symbols; e) generating (450) a set of channel estimates (362) based on the set of reference symbols and the at least a portion of the subset of the plurality of demodulated symbols, for use in decoding a current OFDM symbol; and f) repeating steps b- e until a channel estimate for each demodulated symbol corresponding to the first OFDM symbol has been generated.
