Abstract

A method is provided for extracting a sequence of pilot symbols enabling to estimate the transfer function of a transmission channel. At least a radiocommunication device communicates through the channel with a remote station, the latter regularly delivering to the radiocommunication device a reference pattern. The structure of the reference pattern is variable, depending on at least one characteristic of the transmission channel.
