This document proposes a novel channel estimation scheme for a RAKE receiver operating in a time-varying multipath channel. The approach uses Lagrange interpolation to combine channel estimates from pilot symbols over one chip duration, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio and improving estimate quality. Simulation results show the bit error rate is minimized when 60% of transmit power is allocated to the pilot channel.

5. Simulation Results
Summary In this work a novel channel estimation scheme is proposed for a RAKE
receiver operating in a time varying multi-path channel. The approach is an extension

of the well known nonlinear interpolation channel estimator, which is based on inter- 10

quality of channel estimates. We also investigate optimal power assignment for the pi-
