Abstract
A first wireless communication device recovers data from a transmission received over a wireless channel from a second wireless communication device and processes the received data with each of multiple channel variation compensations to produce corresponding processed received data subjected to respective ones of the multiple channel variation compensations. For symbols in the received data and in each of the processed received data, distances are computed to their closest symbols in a symbol constellation set used in the wireless transmission. A corresponding distance metric is computed from the distances for symbols in the received data and from the distances for symbols in each of the processed received data resulting in a distance metric for the received data, and a distance metric for each of the processed received data. Channel variation of a wireless channel between the first and second wireless communication devices is estimated based on the distance metrics.
