Statistical weighting and adjustment of state variables in a radio

Abstract

A method involving receiving a real time communication signal at a radio receiver involves measuring at least one performance value associated with the radio receiver with an installed set of state variables; at a processor forming a part of the radio receiver: iteratively changing at least one of the state variables within a prescribed range in order to identify an improved value of the state variable that provides an improvement to the at least one performance value; storing the improved value of the state variable; applying a statistical weighting to the improved value and storing the statistical weighting; and adjusting the prescribed range of the state variable based upon the statistical weighting to provide a revised prescribed range that is statistically likely to contain state variable that provides improvement in the at least one performance value. This abstract is not to be considered limiting.
