Abstract

A radio receiver apparatus of a cellular network includes a channel estimator configured to calculate channel estimates on the basis of a common pilot channel. The apparatus further includes a weight calculation unit configured to calculate a weighting factor on the basis of a signal power of the common pilot channel and control data depending on a transmit signal power of a dedicated data channel. The control data is signaled by the cellular network to the radio receiver apparatus. The radio receiver apparatus further comprises a combiner that combines the signals from multiple cells by using the channel estimates and the weighting factor.
