The quality of a received signal in a non-linear receiver is estimated using a coupling matrix G or Q that describes the interaction of symbols m the received signal with other symbols and/or how the impairment (noise and interference) interacts in the received signal. The coupling matrix is also useful for joint detection The signal quality estimate may include, e g, the minimum eigenvalue, and other functions, such as the determinant and trace of the coupling matrix. When G or Q varies with each block, as m CDMA systems employing longcode scrambling, a representative matrix can be used, such as a matrix of RMS values or average magnitudes of real and imaginary components. The signal quality estimate can be expressed as a bit error rate (BER). |
