<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for estimating a signal quality of a received signal in a wireless system including a wireless communication channel. <P>SOLUTION: The method includes the steps of: receiving a signal including at least one field that is modulated and encoded in a substantially fixed manner from a wireless communication channel; and generating at least one reference field based, at least in part, on the at least one field and on a channel estimation signal. The channel estimation signal is representative of at least one characteristic of the wireless communication channel. The method further includes the step of generating a signal quality estimate as a function of the at least one field in the received signal and the generated at least one reference field. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
