A method for demapping dual carrier modulated COFDM signals comprises normalizing an estimated channel state information signal to obtain a normalized channel state information signal, determining a Y-domain weighting factor from the normalized channel state information signal, determining an X-domain weighting factor from the normalized channel state information signal, performing equalization on a received data OFDM signal to obtain an equalized data signal, weighting an equalized data signal using the Y-domain weighting factor and the X-domain weighting factor to generate a weighted input signal of a demapper and performing linear demapping of the weighted input signal in the demapper. There is also disclosed an apparatus for demapping dual carrier modulated COFDM signals and a receiver comprising such an apparatus.
