Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (10) for receiving signals in a wireless
orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) system and to a channel estimation
method in such a system. The data symbols and pilot symbols are transmitted in
frequency subcarriers and timeslots, whereby pilot symbols are transmitted in a
continuous stream within at least one frequency subcarrier. A channel estimation for a
data symbol is performed on the basis of received pilot symbols using a filter including
a common phase error correction value from the continuous stream pilot symbol in the
same timeslot as the data symbol to be channel estimated. 
     The present invention thereby enables a correct and efficient channel estimation
including a common phase error correction to be performed.

side walls of the channel at different vertical levels. Flange
members (31a,31b) extend outwardly at different vertical levels from the
opposing side walls (30a,30b) of the roller tray (30). The rollers (32) are raised
to handle the loading of cargo by inflating the bladder (17) and
lowered to recess the rollers below the level of a cover

utilizes a minimum number of screws (51) in conjunction with a
mating coupler plate and slots (22e) and for adjacent units which
engage pins (45b) on the channel to provide secure retention of the
plate yet facilitating ready removal when the roller tray
needs to be removed for repair or replacement. Such removal
can be readily accomplished by tilting the roller tray
sideways to permit the side flanges of the roller tray to
clear the side flanges of the channel.
