MODULATION TYPE DETERMINATION FOR EVALUATION OF TRANSMITTER PERFORMANCE
摘要
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate monitoring transmitter performance in a wireless communication environment. If the received modulation symbols are unknown during transmitter monitoring, it may be necessary to determine the modulation symbols for each subcarrier. The modulation types can be evaluated over a subset of subcarriers having a consistent modulation type, to reduce the possibility of an erroneous modulation type determination to an extremely low level. A metric can be generated for each modulation type that indicates the likelihood of a particular modulation type for the subset of subcarriers. The modulation type can be selected based upon the metric and modulation symbols consistent with the modulation type can be used for the subset of subcarriers.
