Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for estimating a transmission channel in a receiver of an OFDMA signal formed by a plurality of carriers modulated by data elements and distributed in the time-frequency domain in successive symbols, the plurality of carriers including pilot carriers, modulated by reference data elements known by receivers. The method includes: receiving a signal comprising a series of n symbols covering at least one resource block; making an initial channel estimation by identifying the pilot carriers included in the series of n symbols; determining diagonal entries of p frequency domain channel matrices G(x) for estimating the channel for at least x symbols among the n symbols, the x symbols being pilot symbols; determining, in the frequency domain, at least some non diagonal entries for each frequency domain channel matrix G of the n symbols from the determined diagonal entries of the x frequency domain channel matrices G(x).
