Abstract

Estimation of Rayleigh fading channels using time multiplexed pilot symbols in W-CDMA (FDD) is considered. A method of interpolation on a second-order curve using the instantaneous channel estimation of two successive slots based on the least square method (SOLSM) is presented. It is demonstrated by computer simulations that the channel distortion on the data symbols in a slot can be estimated effectively compared to the method using simple linear interpolation, and the performance of the RAKE combiner is improved effectively especially in fast moving cases.
