20080232488 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS AND METHOD - Detection of information on an OFDM signal involves channel estimation. Following an initial channel estimate, it is desirable to perform smoothing or filtering to achieve a more effective channel estimate. A filter is described which is operable to smooth an initial estimate for a subcarrier by reference to one or more adjacent subcarrier estimates. Extrapolation is used to impose, on a subcarrier, information dependent on one or more other subcarriers in the case that the subcarrier in question is not in use other than use by the filter. | 09-25-2008 |
