1. A method for boosting pilot signal power relative to data signal power, said method comprising:
- obtaining of an user equipment velocity;
determining the transmission power for a plurality of pilot fields with positions in a sub-frame, said determination based on the velocity estimate using a set of pre-computed power values for ranges of velocity; and
performing a sub-frame transmission by applying the determined transmission power to at least a portion of the plurality of pilot fields.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide method and structure for boosting pilot signal power relative to data signal power. The velocity of user equipment is obtained. The velocity measurement is used in determining the transmission power of the pilot signal and applying the increase to a plurality of pilots and decreasing the data signal power by a proportional amount.
