Received signal to noise indicator

摘要

A method and device may be used to produce a received interference value in wireless communications. The device may include one or more components to measure a received power of a channel and measure an average noise plus interference power of the channel. The device may include a processor configured to calculate a received signal to noise indicator (RSNI) value. The RSNI may be based on the measured received power and the measured average noise plus interference power.

1. A method for use in a receiver for reporting a received signal to noise ratio, the method comprising:
calculating a received signal to noise indicator (RSNI) value based on a measured received power of a channel and a measured average noise plus interference power of the channel, wherein calculating the RSNI value further comprises:
subtracting the measured average noise plus interference power from the measured received power to determine a difference, anddividing the difference by the measured average noise plus interference to determine the RSNI value; and reporting the RSNI value to an access point.
