1. A method for carrying out channel equalization in a radio receiver comprising at least one prefilter and a channel equalizer, the method comprising:
- estimating a channel impulse response of a received signal in the channel equalization, determining noise power by estimating a covariance matrix of the noise contained in a received signal before prefiltering the received signal by using the estimated impulse response, calculating tap coefficients of the prefilters and the channel equalizer equalizer by using the noise power and the impulse response estimate, determining the noise power after the prefiltering the received signal by estimating a noise variance after the prefiltering, and weighting input signals of the channel equalizer by weighting coefficients obtained by the estimated noise variance.

Abstract
A method for carrying out channel equalization in a radio receiver wherein an impulse response is estimated, noise power is determined by estimating a co-variance matrix of the noise contained in a received signal before prefiltering, and tap coefficients of prefilters and an equalizer are calculated. The method comprises determining the noise power after prefiltering by estimating a noise covariance matrix, after which input signals of the channel equalizer are weighted by weighting coefficients obtained from the noise covariance estimation.
