  • Wireless receiver and method for determining a representation of noise level of a signal
    Patent number: 7065166
    Abstract: A wireless receiver for receiving an incoming signal having spatial and temporal diversity. The receiver uses noise-based prescaling of multiple receiver chain signals for optimally combining the receiver chain signals in a composite equalized signal and uses noise-based time-varying postscaling the equalized signal. The receiver determines noise-based scale factors by comparing signal symbols to dispersed replica symbols of a training sequence for the incoming signal.
