Abstract

The invention provides methods and systems for channel estimation. A method comprises receiving a plurality of signal frames, comprising at least a first zone and a second zone, from a plurality of base stations in the wireless communication system. Two or more first delay profiles corresponding to two or more base stations are determined using the first zone. The method further comprising detecting at least one aliased tap in a time domain channel response of the second zone using the two or more first delay profiles. Another method comprises receiving a signal frame, comprising at least a preamble symbol and a data part, from a base station. A first delay profile corresponding to the preamble symbol is determined and a second delay profile corresponding to the data part is obtained. The first delay profile is analyzed in conjunction with the second delay profile to detect one or more aliased taps in a time domain channel response of the data part. The detected one or more aliased taps are nulled/rectified.
