<p>The invention relates to a method for determining connection quality in a receiver in a cellular radio system and to a receiver comprising means (25) for decoding a received signal in accordance with the Viterbi algorithm, said means (25) calculating estimates of the merit of the decisions made in addition to decoding the received symbols. To improve the bit error rate estimation accuracy over the connection between the transmitter and the receiver, especially with low bit numbers, the receiver of the invention comprises means (28, 29) for calculating the bit error rate over the connection on the basis of the calculated estimates.</p> |
