Minimum Mean Square Error channel estimates for DS-SSS in the presence of ISI

In this paper, we propose to improve channel estimation quality for DS-SSS when small spreading factors are used. We take into account the intersymbol interference structure to construct an optimal estimate according to the minimum mean square error criterion. We show that signi cant performance improvement is obtained for both the Rake receiver and the linear chip equalizer.
