Assignee: MAXLINEAR, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
detecting one or more parameters of a channel of communication between an access point (AP) and a wireless station (STA), wherein detecting the one or more parameters of the channel of the communication comprises detecting a signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the channel of the communication;
determining a training configuration for a channel estimation of the channel of the communication based on the one or more parameters of the channel of the communication, the training configuration indicating at least one of a number of training symbols or a length of training symbols to include in a training block of a downlink (DL) transmission, wherein responsive to the SNR being less than a SNR threshold value, determining the training configuration comprises determining to increase the number of training symbols to be included in the training block of the DL transmission compared to a number of training symbols included in a training block of one or more prior DL transmissions; and
transmitting the DL transmission to the STA over the channel, the DL transmission including the training block and a data portion, the training block configured according to the training configuration; and
wherein the STA is configured to determine the channel estimation of the channel of the communication using the training block of the DL transmission received at the STA.
