Abstract
A receiver including a channel estimation function in which an initial channel estimate is filtered to increase receiver operation, particularly when the receiver may only have a limited number of channel estimation symbols with which to form the channel estimate. In some embodiments the filtering is performed by transforming the initial channel estimate to the time domain, zeroing some of the samples to filter the time domain channel estimate, and transforming the filtered time domain channel estimate to the frequency domain for use in channel compensation.
