Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for channel estimation. First, pilot signals are extracted from a received multi-path signal, in which each pilot signal includes a first pilot and a second pilot. Then, an initially estimated channel frequency-domain response is obtained based on the extracted first pilot. Afterward, a frequency-domain response estimate of each pilot frequency in the second pilot is calculated according to the obtained initially estimated channel frequency-domain response, an actual value of each pilot frequency in the second pilot is obtained based on the extracted second pilot, and a deviation between the frequency-domain response estimate and the actual value of each pilot frequency is calculated. When it is detected that aliasing components exist in the initially estimated channel frequency-domain response, a center of each aliasing component is determined according to the deviation, so as to determine an estimated position of each aliasing component. Finally, the initially estimated channel frequency-domain response is corrected according to the estimated positions of the aliasing components, so as to obtain an accurate channel estimation response.
