Abstract
A method and device may be used to produce a received interference value in wireless communications. The device may include one or more components to measure a received power of a channel and measure an average noise plus interference power of the channel. The device may include a processor configured to calculate a received signal to noise indicator (RSNI) value. The RSNI may be based on the measured received power and the measured average noise plus interference power.
Claims18
A method for use in a receiver for reporting a received signal to noise ratio, the method comprising:
- measuring a received power of a channel;
- measuring an average noise plus interference power of the channel;
- calculating a received signal to noise indicator (RSNI) value based on the measured received power and the measured average noise plus interference power, wherein calculating the RNSI value further comprises:
- subtracting the measured average noise plus interference power from the measured received power to determine a difference,
- dividing the difference by the measured average noise plus interference to determine the RNSI value;
- and
- reporting the RSNI value to an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 access point.

A receiver comprising:
- a first device configured to measure a received power of a channel;
- a second device configured to measure an average noise plus interference power of the channel;
- a processor configured to calculate a received signal to noise indicator (RSNI) value based on the measured received power and the measured average noise plus interference power, wherein the processor calculates the RNSI value by subtracting the measured average noise plus interference power from the measured received power to determine a difference, and dividing the difference by the measured average noise plus interference;
- and
- a third device configured to report the RSNI value to an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer is (IEEE) 802.11 device.
