Disclosed is an adaptive channel estimator for improving a performance of a general channel estimator in a mobile communication system, and a method for controlling the same. The adaptive channel estimator further detects a noise level of a channel and a channel speed, and implements an optimum noise elimination filter on the basis of the detected noise level and channel speed. A comparison between mapping degrees predetermined by the detected noise level and channel speed allows an optimum noise elimination filter to be implemented, If such a channel estimator is implemented, then optimum packet data transmission is available for not only a low-speed channel but also a high-speed channel. A channel compensation caused by a difference between a spreading factor (SF) of a pilot channel and a spreading factor (SF) of a data channel can be compensated on the condition that a slope compensator executed by a SF ratio is controlled by a filter coefficient controller.

Apparatus and method for performing adaptive channel estimation in a mobile communication system

An apparatus and method for detecting a power ratio between a traffic channel and a pilot channel in a mobile communication system. The apparatus is operable to generate a second signal by performing channel estimation using a second channel signal, and generate a first signal by channel-compensating the first channel signal using the second signal. The apparatus is further operable to generate absolute values of symbols constituting the first signal, select absolute values in a predetermined length after sorting the absolute values in magnitude order, calculate an average value of the selected absolute values, calculate a square of an absolute value of the second signal, and generate the power ratio using a ratio of the average value to the square of the absolute value of the second signal.
