ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for and methods of receiving a transmission signal, suitable for use in a cellular mobile communications system, are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a beam former (50) for receiving signals from a plurality of antenna elements, which received signals represent the transmission signal, and for modifying the received signals in accordance with a receiver beam pattern defined by control information input to the beam former (50). The apparatus also comprises estimating means (54) for producing an estimate of desired control information by combining predetermined data in the received signals with a replica of the predetermined data. The estimate of desired control information may be used to set the control information input to the beam former (50).
