An apparatus for estimating a wireless radio channel between a first terminal and a relay station, the apparatus including a receiver for receiving a signal including a superposition of previously transmitted first information from the first terminal and second information from a second terminal, the second terminal also communicating with the relay station, a storage for storing the previously transmitted first information, and a channel calculator for calculating the wireless radio channel using the received signal and the stored first information as pilot information for the received signal.

Method, apparatus and system for channel estimation in two-way relaying networks

An apparatus for providing a combined digital signal comprises a bit adder and a combiner. The combined digital signal contains information of a first digital input signal and a second digital input signal, wherein a block length of the first digital input signal is shorter than a block length of the second digital input signal. The bit adder is configured to add at least one filling bit to a block of the first digital input signal to obtain an adapted first digital input signal, so that the block length of the adapted first digital input signal is equal to a block length of the second digital input signal. The combiner is configured to combine the adapted first digital input signal and the second digital input signal to obtain and provide the combined digital signal.
