1. A method of estimation of channel parameters dependent on the channel conditions in a wireless communication system comprising:
- performing a coarse estimation of a channel'"'"'s parameters by channel estimator apparatus of the wireless communication system;
determining if a detailed estimation of the channel'"'"'s parameters is necessary responsive to performing the coarse estimation, and if so, performing, by the channel estimator apparatus, at least one of a plurality of estimations selected from;
a) an exact channel estimation by parametric analysis;
b) an exact channel estimation by applying a discrete Fourier transform analysis;
c) an exact channel estimation by a simplified channel estimation;
determining if it is necessary to alter the transmission characteristics responsive of the coarse estimation and/or the detailed estimation of the channel'"'"'s parameters and if so, altering the transmission characteristics of the wireless communication system;
wherein the method is repeated for each of the transmission channels in a multi-channel wireless communication system.

Abstract
Method for the estimation of channel parameters in a wireless communication system. In accordance with the method several levels of the wireless channel parameters estimation take place to address the specific requirements of the channel. Based on the level of estimation required an appropriate estimation algorithm is selected to achieve the desired results. The evaluation of the channel state and thereafter determining the appropriate parameter estimation requirements provide for a superior overall performance of the wireless system.
