ENVIRONMENT ESTIMATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for estimating an environment surrounding a wireless communication system, the environment including at least one inflector that inflects transmitted signals, the method comprising:
- receiving an input signal transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver via a wireless communication channel;
receiving system state information pertaining to at least one of the receiver, the transmitter and the inflector;
estimating at least one property of the inflector based on the received input signal and the system state information.

Abstract
A method and system are described for estimating an environment surrounding a wireless communication system, the environment including at least one in hector that inflects transmitted signals. An observation generator receives an input signal transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver via a wireless communication channel and also receives system state information pertaining to at least one of the receiver, the transmitter and the inflector. An observation processor uses observations from the observation generator to estimate at least one property of the inflector based on the received input signal and the system state information.
