A technique for Doppler frequency estimation and adaptation in a MediaFLO™ (Forward Link Only) receiver system includes receiving Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the receiver, dividing a Doppler frequency range into N ranges corresponding to N interpolation filters; determining a correlation between two OFDM symbols separated by time; estimating a Doppler frequency by the correlation of OFDM symbols; determining a ratio of the correlation of OFDM symbols; comparing the determined ratio of the correlation of OFDM symbols with a look up table of α stored at a receiver to determine a corresponding Doppler frequency; mapping α ranges stored at the look up table to suitable interpolation filters; estimating an interpolation filter from the mapped α ranges mapped against determined α ratio; adapting Time Domain Interpolation (TDI) to the selected interpolation filter; and synchronizing receiver to the TDI filter.
