Abstract: A wireless communication network includes an access point (AP) device and a non-AP device. The AP device transmits a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) to the non-AP device. The PPDU includes a data field including a plurality of pilot tones in a plurality symbols. A group of pilot tones is shifted from symbol to symbol within a group of subcarriers during the data field. The non-AP device receives the PPDU and performs channel estimation using the plurality of pilot tones in the data field.

An initial fixed point is set through simulation and a saturation for an output of a target device is compared with a reference saturation. Then, the position of the initial fixed point is adaptively changed according to the change in the output range of the target device. Therefore, when a floating point is converted into a fixed point, the performance of the system can be improved while the complexity of the hardware can be reduced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing channel compensating in a mobile communication terminal calculates a channel prediction value by varying an energy cumulative interval based on channel variation occurring in a radio channel.

As a result of this compensation, channel prediction error is reduced. And accordingly more accurate channel compensation is performed.
