Method and device for interferer scheduling detection and noise and interferer parameter estimation

摘要

A method for estimating noise and interferer parameters includes receiving a signal comprising a noise and interference signal contribution. Noise and interference power samples are generated based on the signal. The noise and interference power samples are quantized into quantization levels. The occurrences of noise and interference power samples are accumulated for each quantization level during an observation period. Noise and interferer parameters are estimated based on the number of occurrences of noise and interference power samples per quantization level during the observation period.
