METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LINEAR PREDICTING

In the receiver of the present invention, it is after weighting every observed value with corresponding likelihood at every observation points that a least square method is utilized as a linear prediction to the observations, in order to improve the accuracy of the linear prediction by making the influence of the probable observed values to the prediction result larger. The present invention can improve the accuracy of received signal correction in a receiver, by making a linear prediction more reliable, which is applied for frequency offset compensation, phase shift compensation, synchronization shift adjustment, combined diversity and other signal values estimation.
