Patent ID: 8494068

Claim:
A baseband processor comprising: a channel estimator configured to generate an estimate of a channel for each sub-carrier of a frequency domain digital Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol, and generate channel state information corresponding to each sub-carrier of the frequency domain digital Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol; a demodulator configured to generate a plurality of demodulated symbols based on the estimate of the channel for each sub-carrier of the frequency domain digital Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol, wherein each demodulated symbol corresponds to a given sub-carrier of the frequency domain digital Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol; and a decoder configured to (i) perform decoding on each demodulated symbol and (ii) generate a corresponding decoded symbol, wherein the decoding of each demodulated symbol is based on the channel state information corresponding to the given sub-carrier associated with the demodulated symbol.
