A RECEIVER AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING LARGE-SCALE CHANNEL PROPERTIES
First Claim
1. A method performed by a receiver for estimating first large-scale channel properties associated to a first channel to a first transmitter and second large-scale channel properties associated to a second channel to a second transmitter, the method comprising:
- receiving a first signal transmitted by the first transmitter and further receiving at least a second signal transmitted by the second transmitter, wherein the first and the second transmitter are synchronised to a common synchronisation reference, and wherein the first signal and/or the second signal comprises at least one reference signal;
jointly estimating the first and second large-scale channel properties based on the at least one reference signal; and
associating the jointly estimated large-scale channel properties to the first channel associated to the first transmitter and to the second channel associated to the second transmitter.

Abstract
A receiver and a method performed by the receiver for estimating first large-scale channel properties associated to a first channel of a first transmitter and a second large-scale channel properties associated to a second channel of a second transmitter are provided. The method includes receiving a first signal transmitted by the first transmitter and further receiving at least a second signal transmitted by the second transmitter. The first and the second transmitter are synchronised to a common synchronisation reference, and the first signal and/or the second signal includes at least one reference signal. The method further includes jointly estimating the first and second large-scale channel properties based on the at least one reference signal, and associating the jointly estimated large-scale channel properties to the first channel associated to the first transmitter and to the second channel associated to the second transmitter.

8. A receiver adapted for estimating first large-scale channel properties associated to a first channel to a first transmitter and second large-scale channel properties associated to a second channel to a second transmitter, the receiver comprising:
-
a receiving unit adapted for receiving a first signal transmitted by the first transmitter and further for receiving at least a second signal transmitted by the second transmitter, wherein the first and the second transmitter are synchronised to a common synchronisation reference, and wherein the first signal and/or the second signal comprises at least one reference signal; an estimating unit adapted for jointly estimating the first and second large-scale channel properties based on the at least one reference signal; and an associating unit adapted for associating the jointly estimated large-scale channel properties to the first channel associated to the first transmitter and to the second channel associated to the second transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
