ABSTRACT:
A method and a receiver for determining the quality of a wireless communications link are described. The link quality is determined on the basis of an encoded signal that is transmitted via the communications link and that includes at least two signal portions experiencing different states of one or more transmission channels. The method comprises the steps of providing individual channel quality values for the different channels and determining a quality measure indicative of the link quality by averaging the individual channel quality values in the exponential domain.
