Abstract
To compensate for roll-off while estimating a communication channel, an estimate of the channel is provided using a signal transmitted via the communication channel. The pilot tones positioned along the edges of the estimated channel are divided by the corresponding pilot tones of the received signal to generate a first number of ratios. An algorithm is thereafter applied to the first number of ratios to generate a second number of ratios associated with the non-pilot tones positioned along the edges of the estimated channel. Next, numbers that are inverse of the first and second number of ratios are applied to the pilot and non-pilot tones positioned along the edges of the estimated channel to compensate for the roll-offs in the estimated channel.
