Abstract:
1. A method of training a linear adaptive equalizer using an aggregation of non-common midamble energies to improve throughput in a wireless communication environment, comprising: detecting multiple non-common pilot sequences in channel codes received in a time slot; generating a reference signal based at least in part on multiple non-common pilot sequences; utilizing the reference signal to train the linear adaptive equalizer to perform channel equalization based at least in part on information from the midamble portions of user codes; and further comprising determining a traffic-to-pilot ratio for an active channel code; wherein determining the traffic-to-pilot ratio comprises estimating relative power of a first data portion of the active code and a second data portion of the active code in the time slot and dividing a total relative power of the data portions by the transmission power of the non-common pilot associated with the active channel code in the wireless communication environment.
