Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to process signals in a communication system. A channel impulse response (CIR) generator generates a time-domain windowed CIR from a received signal using a window function. A thresholder thresholds the time-domain windowed CIR. A compensator compensates window effect for the thresholded time-domain windowed CIR to provide an enhanced channel estimate in frequency domain.
