METHOD OF OPERATION OF A COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND CORRESPONDING COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of operation of a communication device and to corresponding communication devices. In particular the invention relates to a first method of operation of a communication device, wherein some pilot bits associated with data bits are transmitted with a power at least partly dependent on the data rate at which the data bits are transmitted. At the base station, power control is carried out only on pilot bits with constant power, whereas channel estimation is carried out on all pilot bits.
