NOISE POWER ESTIMATION APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A pilot signal is estimated by using the sampling theorem to estimate noise power in a stable manner without depending on the signal to noise ratio. A pilot signal estimation section obtains an estimated pilot signal by using the sampling theorem according to a plurality of received pilot signals sampled in the frequency domain by a sampling processor. A noise power estimation section estimates noise power by applying statistical averaging to the difference between the received pilot signal received from the sampling processor and the estimated pilot signal received from the pilot signal estimation section.
