Abstract
For high rate data transmission, channel estimates may be computed using multiple control channels. An exemplary method comprises determining a transmission parameter for a data channel, generating first and second channel estimates derived respectively from first and second control channels, and selectively combining the first and second channel estimates to generate a combined channel estimate. In some embodiments, the second channel estimate may be used to refine the first channel estimate before the selection of the final channel estimate.
