Patent ID: 6856610

Claim:
A wireless communication network, comprising: a wireless receiver, comprising: at least one antenna for receiving a plurality of frames in a form of a plurality of paths; wherein each of the plurality of frames is modulated by a plurality of chips; wherein each chip in the plurality of chips has chip duration; a plurality of path resources, comprising; a first path resource configured to receive a first plurality of symbols from a first path in the plurality of paths; and a second path resource configured to receive a second plurality of symbols from a second path in the plurality of paths; circuitry for sampling the second path at a time less than the chip duration from a time when the circuitry for sampling samples the first path; circuitry, responsive to the circuitry for sampling, for establishing a first channel estimate for the first path in response to the first path and the second path; and circuitry, responsive to the circuitry for sampling, for establishing a second channel estimate for the second path in response to the first path and the second path.
