Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for adjusting an average interval of channel estimation dynamically based on Doppler-shift. The method comprises the steps of estimating Doppler-shift by using level cross rate (LCR) according to differently moving speeds of mobile terminals, determining the optimal average interval of channel estimation based on the relationship between the existing Doppler-shift and the optimal average interval of channel estimation, dynamically adjusting the average interval of channel estimation according to the determined the optimal average interval of channel estimation to make the coherent receiver obtain the optimal estimation performance at different moving speeds. The apparatus of the present invention comprises a channel estimation module, a valid/strongest finger selection module, a RAKE demodulation and combining module, a RAKE output decision module, an LCR detection and Doppler-shift estimation module, a Gaussian noise power estimation module, a strongest path signal power estimation module, and an optimal average interval calculation module.
