Claim Text:
1. A method for determining a channel estimate for a communication channel between a transmitter and a receiver comprising: a receiver receiving a first signal via a plurality of first communication resources; the receiver receiving a second signal via a plurality of second communication resources wherein the plurality of second communication resources differ from the plurality of first communication resources in at least one of time or frequency; determining a first channel estimate for a communication channel based on the plurality of first communication resources between a first transmitter and the receiver based on the first signal; determining a second channel estimate for a communication channel based on the plurality of second communication resources between the first transmitter and the receiver based on the second signal; determining a combination of the first channel estimate and the second channel estimate; estimating a component of the combination that depends on the communication channel based on the plurality of first communication resources between a second transmitter and the receiver; removing the estimated component from the channel combination; and determining a channel estimate for a communication channel between the second transmitter and the receiver based on the plurality of second communication resources based on a remainder of the combination after removing the estimated component.
