Novel method of channel estimation for WCDMA downlink
Bin Sheng, Xiaohu You · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2001
A novel scheme for channel estimation is proposed in this paper for WCDMA Downlink where a pilot channel is simultaneously transmitted with a dada traffic channel. The proposed scheme exploits channel information in both pilot and data traffic channels by combining channel estimates from these two channels. It is demonstrated by computer simulations that the performance of the Rake receiver is improved obviously.
