RADIO RECEPTION APPARATUS AND RADIO RECEPTION METHOD

摘要

When carrying out a weighted addition on the in-phase added values of pilot signals and simulated pilot signals of the data section about the nth slot, the channel estimation circuit 104 controls the weighting factors according to the number of iterations of channel estimation. That is, the channel estimation circuit 104 carries out channel estimation by decreasing weights of simulated pilot signals in addition to pilot signals in a stage in which the number of iterations is small and by increasing weights of simulated pilot signals in addition to pilot signals in a stage in which the number of iterations is large. In iterative channel estimation, this makes it possible to improve the accuracy of channel estimation in the initial stage and carry out high accuracy channel estimation with a small number of iterations of recursive channel estimation.
