ABSTRACT:
A method of estimating the quality of a communication channel from a differential phase angle between a received signal and the corresponding transmitted phase angle employs determining a signal to impairment ratio (SIR) as an indicator of channel state information (CSI). A maximum likelihood estimation procedure is employed to calculate this CSI metric as a function of the differential phase angle between the received signal and transmitted signal. An alternate embodiment employs a estimation that incorporates average SIR information for a Rayleigh fading channel. Since CSI is derived from the phase angle of the received signal, and does not require signal amplitude information, it is attractive for use with differential detectors, phase-locked loops (PLLs) and hard-limited signals. The CSI provided can be used for implementing post detection selection diversity, by selecting the signal from a plurality of antennae which has the best SIR.
