Error rate estimation method for a receiver and receiver apparatus

摘要

This invention relates to a method for a receiver. The method comprises receiving a sequence of symbols. Further an unreliable detection event is determined, if the absolute value of a difference between a first metric for a first event minus a second metric for a second event is lower than a predetermined threshold. Moreover a receiver is provided, the receiver comprising a metric generator for generating a first and a second metric, and an unreliability detector for detecting an unreliable detection event. <IMAGE>
