Abstract
The method of estimating a signal-to-noise ratio (SINR) estimates either the polarities or bit values of a plurality of received data symbol samples. Then an SINR estimate is generated based on the plurality of received data symbol samples and the estimated polarities or bit values of the plurality of received data symbol samples such that the SINR estimate is not substantially dependent on a polarities or a bit value of the plurality of received data symbol samples.

A method of estimating a signal-to-noise ratio (SINR), comprising:
- estimating polarities of a plurality of received data symbol samples;
- and
- generating an SINR estimate based on the plurality of received data symbol samples and the estimated polarities of the plurality of received data symbol samples such that the SINR estimate is not substantially dependent on a polarities of the plurality of received data symbol samples.
A method of estimating a signal-to-noise ratio (SINR), comprising:
- estimating bit values of a plurality of received data symbol samples;
- and
- generating an SINR estimate based on the plurality of received data symbol samples and the estimated bit values of the plurality of received data symbol samples such that the SINR estimate is not substantially dependent on a bit value of the plurality of received data symbol samples.
A method of estimating a signal-to-noise ratio (SINR), comprising:
- estimating polarities of a plurality of received data symbol samples;
- converting the received data symbol samples into quasi-pilot symbol samples based on the estimated polarities;
- and
