A communications system includes a transmitter that transmits a modulated signal having encoded communications data over a communications channel. The transmitter adjusts one of at least modulation and coding at the transmitter based on the received channel state information of the transmitted signal. A receiver determines received signal metrics from the modulated signal. A noise power estimator estimates the noise power of the received communications signal by collecting N data samples from the communications signals, forming a covariance matrix of the N data samples based on a model order estimate, computing the eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix and ranking resultant eigenvalues from the minimum to the maximum for determining the noise power of the received signal. At least one of modulation and coding are adjusted based on the monitored link quality of the communications channel to enhance use of the available channel capacity. |
