Abstract

A system and method is provided for determining a channel estimate utilizing partial channel estimates to provide an aggregated channel estimate. A partial channel estimate is determined upon receipt of a data burst, such that a different subset of the channel estimate is updated every data burst. As a result, Fast Fourier Transform computations can be reduced by determining a portion of the channel estimate each data burst as opposed to determining a full channel estimate every data burst.
