Techniques for minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) channel estimator using channel-dependent composite subcarriers and combined pilots reduce computational complexity and memory usage while still achieving near optimum performance. A set of interpolation filters, that are pre-calculated for different radio propagation environments, e.g., channel state information, are stored in look up tables at the receiver and used to interpolate channel estimates for combined pilots to obtain channel estimates for individual subcarriers.

A wireless communication device and a wireless communication method. The wireless communication device includes one or more processors. The processor is configured to estimate an equivalent channel from a base station to user equipment based on a user equipment specific reference signal from the base station, and generate, according to the estimated equivalent channel, a channel state indication used to be fed back to the base station.

A WLAN AP includes an array of antennas, a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to transmit via the array of antennas downlink packets to WLAN STAs, and to receive uplink packets from the STAs. The processor is coupled to the transceiver and is configured to send a request to a plurality of the STAs to transmit a respective plurality of channel-sounding packets corresponding to the plurality of STAs, to receive the plurality of channel-sounding packets from the plurality of STAs in response to the request, to compute, based on the received plurality of channel-sounding packets, a beamforming matrix that defines subsequent transmission beams aimed toward at least a subset of the plurality of STAs, and to transmit one or more downlink data packets to one or more of the STAs via the array of antennas, in accordance with the beamforming matrix.

An EVM measurement value is appropriately determined while CPE/ICI correction is taken into account. In a measurement apparatus (300), an EVM measurer (305) measures a modulation quality of a signal transmitted from a transmission apparatus. An EVM determiner (306) determines whether or not the measurement value of the modulation quality is equal to or less than a first requirement value, in a case where correction relating to a phase noise of the transmission apparatus is necessary in a reception apparatus. The first requirement value herein is higher than a second requirement value used in the determination of the measurement value in a case where the correction relating to the phase noise of the transmission apparatus is unnecessary in the reception apparatus.

In the wireless communication apparatus, an encoding section encodes and outputs transmitting data to a bit converting section, and the bit converting section converts at least one bit of a plurality of bits constituting a data symbol to be used for channel estimation, among the encoded bit strings, into ‘1’ or ‘0’ and outputs it to a modulating section. The modulating section modulates the bit string inputted from the bit converting section by using a single modulation mapper and a plurality of data symbols are generated.
