ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for estimating interference level in a receiver are dominated by the receiver's residual frequency error when the interference is low. The interference estimation method can be changed when the interference is low such that it compensates for the effects of residual frequency errors. A method of estimating an interference level includes the steps of detecting an interference level of the received signal; determining whether the detected interference level is low; and if the detected interference level is low, estimating the interference level by at least one of estimating in only a radial direction and de-rotating the received signal before estimating the interference level.
