Method and apparatus for measuring link quality in wireless communication system

Abstract

A method and an apparatus for measuring a link quality in a wireless communication are provided. The method of a receiver for measuring the link quality in the wireless communication system includes determining a modulation type for each of at least one reception stream received through at least one antenna based on a modulation order and channel information regarding each of signals transmitted from a plurality of transmission antennas, searching for a parameter corresponding to the determined modulation type from a pre-stored parameter table in which parameters for each modulation type are stored, and calculating a channel capacity for each of the at least one reception streams received through the at least one antenna by using the searched parameter.
