Abstract
A method of generating a received signal quality signal in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving a signal from a physical channel, extracting a transport channel format combination indicator from the received signal, processing one or more transport channel signals, contained in the received signal, in accordance with the extracted transport channel format combination indicator, said processing including at least channel decoding, and generating a received signal quality signal in dependence on the quality of the or each transport channel signal prior to channel decoding.
