Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method in a receiving communication node (21,22) for performing channel estimation on a signal received over a
channel from a transmitting communication node (21,22). The receiving and transmitting communication nodes (21,22) are comprised in a radio
communications network. The receiving communication node receives (701) the signal from the transmitting communication node (21,22),filters
(702) the signal by applying matched filter to the received signal in a matched filter process resulting in an estimated channel, transforms (703)
the estimated channel from a frequency domain to a discrete cosine transform domain in a discrete cosine transformation process, truncates (704)
the transformed estimated channel by applying a sloped window truncation function of an adaptive length onto the transformed estimated channel,
wherein the adaptive length in the discrete cosine transform domain is calculated (705) based on channel state information, and transforms (706)
the truncated transformed estimated channel from the discrete cosine transform domain to the frequency domain in an inverse discrete cosine
transformation process resulting in a channel estimate of the channel estimation.
