RECEPTION METHOD AND RECEIVER FOR ENCODED SERIAL DIGITAL TRANSMISSION OVER A NON-STATIONARY CHANNEL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for receiving data over a noisy channel with non-stationary attenuation in which at least one value representing an error rate ER of the received bit stream is produced without decoding. A mutual information value Ik is produced (34) according to a predetermined transmission quality function Qk, and the average mutual information In > is produced (35) for every encoded word received; then at least one error rate ER value of the received bit stream is produced (38) according to each average mutual information In > value using a predetermined standard function on a channel with added white Gaussian noise.
