dc.description.abstractTechniques are generally described for estimating a communication channel using wirelessly transmitted and retransmitted signals, each transmitted at a different power ratio. An example wireless communications system may include a base station, a relay station and a wireless device. The base station may include a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal, wherein the first signal includes pilot and data symbols with a first power ratio. The relay station may include a receiver configured to receive the first signal, and a transmitter configured to retransmit the first signal as a second signal, wherein the second signal includes pilot and data symbols with a second power ratio. The wireless device includes a receiver configured to receive the first and second signals, i.e. the transmitted and retransmitted pilot and data symbols having the first and second power ratios are received, and estimate a communications channel from the received signals.
