Abstract

A method and apparatus for estimating channel impulse response and data in a signal transmitted over a channel in a communication system. The channel impulse response is estimated uses correlative channel sounding, and then, using the estimated channel impulse response, the data in the signal is estimated. The output is then fed back to the channel impulse response estimator and the channel impulse estimation is repeated. The data estimation and channel impulse response estimation may be iterated a number of times.
