Abstract
Methods of improving channel estimation are described, in which pilot symbols are inserted into orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) frames at an OFDM transmitter having at least one transmitting antenna, wherein for the or each antenna, historical data regarding channel conditions is obtained so that the scattered pilot symbols are inserted in a scattered pattern dependent upon said historical data. Alternatively, or in addition, an adaptive channel estimation filter is used whose parameters are selected according to analysis of historical data regarding channel conditions.
