Abstract

An apparatus and method in a multiple sub-carrier digital communication receiver for reducing inter-channel interference (ICI) includes a channel estimation block for calculating channel estimates, an interpolation block for calculating interpolated channel estimates, and an ICI reduction block for calculating ICI reduced receive symbols. Channel estimates are calculated based on receive symbols or ICI reduced receive symbols using pre-determined transmit symbols. Interpolated channel estimates are calculated by Wiener filter interpolation of a set of channel estimates. ICI estimates are calculated based on a set of interpolated channel estimates and either receive symbols or ICI reduced receive symbols. ICI reduced receive symbols are generated by subtracting ICI estimates from receive symbols.
