A user equipment device operating in a cellular communications system includes a neighbor cell searcher configured to receive a first reference signal transmitted from a base station of a first cell of the cellular communications system and determine first channel information associated with the first cell, and receive a second reference signal transmitted from a base station of a second cell of the cellular communications system and determine second channel information associated with the second cell. A channel estimator is configured to generate correlations between times and frequencies associated with reception of the first reference signal and the second reference signal, and generate a channel estimate corresponding to the first reference signal based on the first channel information, the second channel information, and the correlations.
