Abstract
A device for updating complex channel gain estimates for orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols that includes a receiver to receive a plurality of OFDM symbols, wherein each OFDM symbol includes a plurality of pilot tones at a subset of odd positions and a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. The FIR filter configured to filter a plurality of initial channel estimates of odd tones of an OFDM symbol using a first set of coefficients to generate an updated estimate of the channel estimates of the plurality of odd tones for that OFDM symbol, and filter the plurality of the initial channel estimates of the odd tones of the OFDM symbol using a second set of coefficients to generate estimates for a plurality of initial channel estimates of even tones for that OFDM symbol.

17. A method to update the channel gain of each tone of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) symbol, comprising:
-
buffering, by a receiver, a first OFDM symbol, wherein the first OFDM symbol comprises estimates of a channel gain for each odd tone of the OFDM symbol; receiving, by the receiver, a second OFDM symbol, wherein the second OFDM symbol includes a plurality of pilot tones at a subset of odd tone positions; replacing, by the receiver, all of the odd tones of the second OFDM symbol other than the plurality of pilot tones with the initial estimates of the channel gain from corresponding odd tones of the first OFDM symbol; filtering, by a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, the replaced odd tones and the plurality of pilot tones of the second OFDM symbol using a first set of FIR filter coefficients to generate updated channel gain estimates for the odd tones of the second OFDM symbol; and filtering, by the FIR filter, the replaced odd tones and the plurality of pilot tones of the second OFDM symbol using a second set of FIR filter coefficients to generate an estimate of the channel gain for even tones of the second OFDM symbol. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
