Abstract: 

Disclosed is a receiver for enhancing estimation of a channel of a received signal. The receiver is being configured to 

(i) process at least one of (a) power control commands to obtain a pattern of processed power control commands or (b) phase estimation to obtain a pattern of processed phase estimation; 

(ii) match the pattern of at least one of (a) processed power control commands, or (b) processed phase estimation to a pattern corresponding to one or more channels;

(iii) determine a type of channel of the one or more channels based on the matched pattern of at least one of (a) said processed power control commands, or (b) said processed phase estimation,

 (iv) determine filtering parameters based on a type of channel that is determined and 

(v) enhance estimation of the channel based on the filtering parameters associated with the type of channel that is determined.
