Patent attributes
An apparatus, system, and method of performing adaptive frequency domain equalization in an Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiplexing (OFDM) based communication system transmitting data information, wherein the method comprises receiving OFDM symbols comprising scattered pilots; obtaining channel estimates on every third bin of the scattered pilots in a frequency domain, wherein the channel estimates are obtained by performing an interpolation in a time domain across the received OFDM symbols; estimating an original channel based on the channel estimates, wherein the original channel in the time domain is estimated by applying a finite impulse response (FIR) low-pass filter in a frequency domain, wherein the FIR low-pass filter is adaptive according to a delay span of an original channel impulse response and is sufficiently wide to cover the delay span of the original channel impulse response; and dividing the received OFDM symbols by the channel estimate to obtain transmitted data information.
