Abstract:
A method for determining a fading correction factor to be used for correcting a sample of a power delay profile of a received signal in a communication system, said fading correction factor associated with a fading channel characteristic through which said received signal propagates, comprising the steps of:estimating a number (N) of complex samples;obtaining fading channel autocorrelation sequence (R(n)) of said fading channel for a plurality (n) of complex samples, the number of said plurality (n) of complex samples corresponding to said number (N) of complex samples;computing said fading correction factor based on said number (N) of complex samples, said autocorrelation sequence (R(n)), and the number of said plurality (n) of complex samples wherein said computing, said fading correction factor is computed according to an equation ##EQU7##
