<p>Methods and apparatus are disclosed for calculating a channel response for use in received signal processing. In an exemplary embodiment, a method comprises calculating a channel response correlation matrix based on measured channel responses derived from pilot symbols in a received signal and forming (360) a traffic data correlation matrix based on measurements of traffic symbols in the received signal. The traffic data correlation matrix, the channel response correlation matrix, and the measured channel responses are used in an minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimation process to calculate (370) the channel response estimates. In one or more embodiments, the calculated channel response estimates comprise estimates of net channel response corresponding to signal processing delays in a G-RAKE receiver. An exemplary receiver circuit comprises a baseband processor (16) configured to calculate channel response estimates according to one or more of the disclosed methods.</p> |
