METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE BIT ERROR RATE IN A RADIO RECEIVER AND CORRESPONDING RADIO RECEIVER

摘要

Reliability information (q) indicating the probabilities that a data symbol (z) received by the radio receiver (7) is based on a certain transmitted value (c) in the form of soft decision information is generated in said radio receiver (7) by an equalizer. Bit error rate information (p) regarding the bit error rate of the receive signal corresponding to the data symbols (z) received is obtained by a bit error rate estimator (15) by evaluating the reliability information (q).
