METHOD OF ESTIMATING A CURRENT QUALITY OF A COMMUNICATION CHANNEL AND METHOD OF ESTIMATING A FUTURE QUALITY OF A COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

摘要

A method (100) for estimating an instantaneous quality of a communication channel, comprising: receiving (102) over the communication channel; determining (104) a plurality of channel parameters based on physical properties of a carrier signal received over the communication channel; anddetermining (106) the current quality of the communication channel based on a combination of the plurality of channel parameters, wherein the determining (106) the current quality of the communication channel comprises evaluating a decision tree based on the plurality of channel parameters.
