Abstract: A novel scheme is proposed for channel estimation of WCDMA down link where a pilot channel is simultaneously combined with a data traffic channel. The proposed scheme exploits channel information in both pilot and data traffic channels by combining channel estimates from these two-channels. The computer simulation results show that the performance of the Rake receiver is improved effectively.
