Abstract
A method of enabling a communications receiver to verify an antenna weight previously signalled by the communications receiver to a base station, the method including the steps of; equalizing () a channel estimate of a dedicated pilot channel by the complex conjugate of a channel estimate of a common pilot channel to form an estimate of the transmission weight used by the base station; and for each transmission slot, combining () a component of the transmission weight estimates for current and previous slots to form an optimised transmission weight estimate.
