1. A method in a wireless communication terminal, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the terminal, an OFDM symbol carrying an aggregated carrier including a first component carrier and a second component carrier, the OFDM symbol including a reference signal, wherein the first component carrier includes a first subcarrier carrying a first symbol of the reference signal and a second subcarrier carrying a second symbol of the reference symbol, and wherein the second component carrier includes a third subcarrier carrying a third symbol of the reference signal and a fourth subcarrier carrying a fourth symbol of the reference signal;
measuring leakage from the first, second, third, and fourth subcarriers;
receiving a signal on the aggregated carrier; and
compensating for leakage of the signal from the first component carrier to the second component carrier based on the measurement of the leakage of the reference signal.

Abstract
A method in a wireless communication terminal includes receiving an aggregated carrier including a first component carrier and a second component carrier, measuring leakage of a reference signal from the first component carrier onto the second component carrier, receiving a signal on the aggregated carrier, and compensating for leakage of the signal from the first component carrier to the second component carrier based on the measurement of the leakage of the reference signal.
