A receiver for use in a mobile communications network, the receiver
comprising an input for receiving radio signals including control symbols
and data symbols, a channel estimator arranged to use the control symbols
to provide a channel estimate for correcting received data symbols, a
first offset corrector for de-rotating the control symbols prior to their
use in providing the channel estimate, a second offset corrector for
rotating the channel estimate prior to its use in correcting the received
data symbols, and an offset estimator arranged to generate estimates of
frequency offset in the received radio signal, for use in the first and
second offset correctors.
