Communication receiver enhancements using multi-signal capture

摘要

A method and apparatus is disclosed to determine communications receiver parameters from multiple channels of a received communications signal and to configure and/or adjust communications receiver parameters to acquire one or more channels from among the multiple channels of the received communications signal. A communications receiver observes a multi-channel communication signal as it passes through a communication channel. The communications receiver determines one or more communications receiver parameters from the multiple channels of the received communications signal. The communications receiver configures and/or adjusts communications receiver parameters to acquire the one or more channels from among the multiple channels of the received communications signal.

1. A receiver, comprising:
a first module configured to provide a sequence of data based on a communication signal that includes a plurality of channels; and a parameter estimation module coupled to the first module, wherein the parameter estimation module is configured to:
estimate a plurality of signal metrics of the plurality of channels,determine a statistical relationship between the plurality of signal metrics, andestimate, based on the statistical relationship and the sequence of data, a parameter of the receiver.
