Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a channel estimation method and apparatus.
Background
There is a need to acquire channel estimation information in a wireless communication system. In the traditional channel estimation method, a frequency domain interpolation filter coefficient and a time domain interpolation filter coefficient are generated by estimating specific channel time delay expansion and Doppler frequency offset, and then the coefficients are utilized to carry out interpolation filtering on the channel estimation information of the known pilot frequency, so that the channel estimation information of other unknown frequency points is obtained.

For Narrow-Band channel transmission such as NB-IOT (Narrow Band Internet of things based on cellular), the traditional channel estimation method cannot obtain accurate channel delay spread and doppler frequency offset. This will result in inaccurate interpolated filter coefficients and thus inaccurate channel estimation information.
