A method for a terminal of a cellular telecommunication system for determining information about a node of a network of the cellular telecommunication system, the cellular telecommunication system enabling the determination of the information by the terminal from system information transmitted from at least one cell operated by the network node, wherein the cellular telecommunication system employs Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, the method comprising: receiving (200, 300, 400), a transmission signal and the system information, from the network node of the at least one cell, wherein the received transmission signal comprises reference symbols and synchronisation symbols; estimating (202, 302, 402), for each transmit antenna of the network node, a preliminary channel estimate based on the received reference symbols; estimating (204, 304, 403-405) a pre-coding vector, being associated with transmission by at least one transmit antenna of the network node of the at least one cell, for the received synchronisation symbols, wherein estimating (204, 304, 403-405) the pre-coding vector comprises: estimating an aggregate channel for the synchronisation symbols being sent on each transmit antenna of the network node; and determining the pre-coding vector to be the one best matching a linear combination of the preliminary channel estimates and the pre-coding vector with the estimated aggregate channel; re-estimating (208, 308, 408) a channel estimate for each transmit antenna of the network node based on the received reference symbols, a reference symbol channel model defined for the received reference symbols, the received synchronisation symbols, the estimated pre-coding vector, and a synchronisation symbol channel model defined for the received synchronisation symbols; and decoding (210, 310, 410) the received system information using the re-estimated at least one channel estimate. receiving (200, 300, 400), a transmission signal and the system information, from the network node of the at least one cell, wherein the received transmission signal comprises reference symbols and synchronisation symbols; estimating (202, 302, 402), for each transmit antenna of the network node, a preliminary channel estimate based on the received reference symbols; estimating (204, 304, 403-405) a pre-coding vector, being associated with transmission by at least one transmit antenna of the network node of the at least one cell, for the received synchronisation symbols, wherein estimating (204, 304, 403-405) the pre-coding vector comprises: estimating an aggregate channel for the synchronisation symbols being sent on each transmit antenna of the network node; and determining the pre-coding vector to be the one best matching a linear combination of the preliminary channel estimates and the pre-coding vector with the estimated aggregate channel; estimating an aggregate channel for the synchronisation symbols being sent on each transmit antenna of the network node; and determining the pre-coding vector to be the one best matching a linear combination of the preliminary channel estimates and the pre-coding vector with the estimated aggregate channel; re-estimating (208, 308, 408) a channel estimate for each transmit antenna of the network node based on the received reference symbols, a reference symbol channel model defined for the received reference symbols, the received synchronisation symbols, the estimated pre-coding vector, and a synchronisation symbol channel model defined for the received synchronisation symbols; and decoding (210, 310, 410) the received system information using the re-estimated at least one channel estimate.
