1. A method of estimating the speed of a mobile station in a MIMO, SIMO or MISO wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- concurrently receiving a plurality of radio signals;
deriving a value for the derivative of the envelope of the path transfer function for each radio signal;
computing an estimate of the Doppler spread of each of said radio signals from said derivative values; and
deriving a value for the speed of said mobile station from said Doppler spread estimates.

Abstract
The Doppler spreads of the received signals in a MIMO, SIMO or MISO mobile communication system are estimated from the derivatives of the path transfer function envelopes for the received signals. The estimated Doppler spreads is used to estimate the speed of the mobile station.
