  • Unbiased signal to interference ratio in wireless communications devices and methods therefor
    Patent number: 7200190
    Abstract: A method in a wireless communications device, for example, 3rd Generation (3G) Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS) user equipment, including estimating (210) noise power of a signal, estimating signal power (220) of the signal, estimating a signal to noise ratio (230) based on the estimated noise power and the estimated signal power, and at least partially unbiasing (240) the estimated signal to noise ratio based on the interval over which the noise power is averaged.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 3, 2007
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.
