Abstract: The present invention relates to a combiner, channel identifier, OFDM receiver and method for optimizing use of channel state information of a received signal. The method comprises analyzing a received signal in a time domain and extracting from the received signal characteristics of a communication channel. The method furthermore comprises determining a dynamic indicator of channel station information accuracy based on the characteristics of the received signal. Additionally, the method comprises applying a weight to the channel state information according to the dynamic indicator.

Abstract: A signal processing unit and a method for using the signal processing unit. The signal processing unit comprising at least two Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and at least one memory for storing data. The DSP is adapted for signal processing and is capable of accessing the at least one memory. According to an embodiment, the signal processing unit is an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transceiver. The OFDM transceiver is adapted to receive and transmit signals.
