  • Method and apparatus for channel estimation
    Patent number: 6990061
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for channel estimation. A method of determining a maximum likelihood frequency domain estimate of the channel response of a channel between at least one transmitting peer and at least one receiving peer, the method comprising transmitting NU reference tones from the transmitting peer to the receiving peer; capturing the NU reference tones at the receiving peer; and determining at the receiving peer from the NU reference tones the maximum likelihood frequency domain estimate of the channel response at NF predetermined frequencies by directly exploiting the finiteness of the time response of the channel.
    Type: Grant
