Patent attributes
Methods, devices, and systems for communication techniques that use the quasi-static properties of wireless channels are described. One example method to improve communication performance includes receiving a set of pilots over a transmission channel between the wireless communication apparatus and a far-end communication apparatus, the transmission channel comprising a first portion that is time-invariant and a second portion that is time-variant, processing the received set of pilots to generate an estimate of the first portion, processing the received set of pilots to generate an estimate of the second portion, and performing a communication based on a channel state information that is a weighted combination of a first term based on the estimate of the first portion and a second term based on the estimate of the second portion.
