    摘要: Time filtering channel estimates in a wireless communication system, such as an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) system, can be used to improve the quality of channel estimates. The characteristics of an optimal channel estimate time filter can depend on the manner in which the channel estimate is determined as well as the time correlation of channel estimates. A receiver can implement an adaptive time filter for channel estimates in which the time filter response can vary based on channel estimate parameters. The channel estimate parameters can include the manner of determining channel estimates, a time correlation of channel estimates, and an estimated Doppler frequency. The time filter response can be varied continuously over a range of responses or can be varied discretely over a predetermined number of time filter responses.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for signal and interference energy estimation in a communication system. In an aspect, a method includes setting a threshold value, and comparing a channel estimate to the threshold value to determine an interference estimate (Iest). The method also includes averaging the interference estimate (Iest) to determine average channel interference (Ic), and determining interference energy (I) based on the interference estimate (Iest) and the average channel interference (Ic). In another aspect, an apparatus includes threshold logic configured to set a threshold value and compare a channel estimate to the threshold value to determine an interference estimate (Iest). The apparatus includes averaging logic configured to average the interference estimate (Iest) to determine average channel interference (Ic), and summing logic configured to determine interference energy (I) based on the interference estimate (Iest) and average channel interference (Ic).

    摘要: A method for determining a communication channel location is disclosed. A first subset of a plurality of channel impulse responses is averaged over a first time period to produce a first filtered channel impulse response, and a second subset of the plurality of channel impulse responses is averaged over a second time period to produce a second filtered channel impulse response. The second time period is different from the first time period, and the second subset is different from the first subset. The communication channel location is determined using the first filtered channel impulse response and the second filtered channel impulse response.

    摘要: A method for characterizing a communication channel is disclosed. A detection window is moved through a channel profile to accumulate tap energies in the channel profile within the detection window into an accumulated energy curve. A peak at a maximum in the accumulated energy curve is determined. A band relative to the accumulated energy curve is defined. A first arriving path (FAP) is determined using a trailing edge found near a second end of a zone in the accumulated energy curve. A leading edge is found near a first end of the zone of the accumulated energy curve. The last arriving path (LAP) is determined using the leading edge. The band defines a zone of the accumulated energy curve at or near the maximum that is within the band.
