IMPROVED CHANNEL ESTIMATION FOR SINGLE-CARRIER SYSTEMS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for processing path components in a wireless communications network. A communications system is provided that includes one or more path analyzers to determine path magnitudes with respect to a set of channel paths employed in a wireless communications network. Such analysis can include analog or digital signal processing to determine such aspects as peak energy content, phase estimates, or other parameter of a signal path. From the path determinations, one or more threshold components select a subset of the channel paths for communications based in part on the path magnitudes.
