Abstract

A novel channel estimation scheme is proposed for a RAKE receiver operating in the downlink of a mobile communication scenario. The approach is an extension of the well known Wiener channel estimator and partly cancels multipath interference, with the additional advantage of being able to cope with physically closely spaced multipaths which arise, for example, in an indoor scenario. It is demonstrated by means of simulation that the algorithm improves the quality of the channel estimates significantly. Little additional computational effort is necessary to implement the algorithm, making it an ideal candidate for improving reception capabilities of the mobile user equipment
