The invention relates to a method for estimating data units (d11, d12, d13, d14, d21, d22, d23, d24) transmitted in a radio block (d) via a radio channel. Based on the transmitted data units (d11, d12, d13, d14, d21, d22, d23, d24), a signal sequence (S) is received by a receiving station (BS). The components of the received signal sequence (S) are assigned in the temporal sequence of the reception thereof to at least one first and one second signal block (X1, X2, X3) and are processed in blocks. The signal blocks (X1, X2, X3) overlap in such a manner that at least one component of the received signal sequence belongs to the two signal blocks (X1, X2, X3) and estimation values for the transmitted data units (d11, d12, d13, d14, d21, d22, d23, d24) are determined based on the components of both signal blocks (X1, X2, X3).
