VERFAHREN UND COMPUTERPROGRAMM ZUR SCHÄTZUNG EINES SIGNALQUALITÄTSWERTES SOWIE SIGNALQUALITÄTSSCHÄTZGERÄT, EMPFÄNGER UND KOMMUNIKATIONSVORRICHTUNG

摘要

A method of estimating a signal quality value in a receiver, the method comprising receiving a plurality of reference symbols; determining error rate for the plurality of received reference symbols; mapping the determined error rate to a signal quality value model; and determining mapped signal quality from the model to be signal quality value estimate. A signal quality estimator, a receiver, a communication apparatus, and a computer program for estimating signal quality are also disclosed.
