PARAMETER ESTIMATION FOR ADAPTIVE ANTENNA SYSTEM

摘要

There is disclosed a method and apparatus for determining the channel quality of a transmitted signal in a receiver of a communication system having an adaptive antenna transmitter capable of transmitting at least one narrow beam signal 116, 120 and at least one wide antenna signal 118 comprising receiving a beam signal receiving an antenna signal wherein the received beam and antenna signals each comprise a plurality of multi-path signals, the method further comprising estimating parameters of the received beam signal based on the information received in a first sub-set of the multi-paths of the received antenna signal.
