RADIO RECEIVER IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method, receiver and program for processing radio signals to identify an n-ray channel condition. The method comprises: receiving signal samples and estimating a plurality of channel taps from the a samples; estimating for each of the channel taps a signal power and a disturbance power; filtering the signal power to provide a filtered signal power quantity; filtering the disturbance power to provide a filtered disturbance power quantity; using the filtered power quantities to determine n strongest channel taps; generating first and second comparison parameters using the strongest channel taps and at least one other channel tap; providing a comparison result based on the first and second comparison parameters and a thresh-old value, and; identifying an n-ray channel condition from the comparison result.
