ABSTRACT:
A method and system is disclosed for determining an actual transmission rate of an encoded communication which has been transmitted at one of a plurality of transmission rates. An encoded communication is decoded at the plurality of transmission rates to generate decoded signals and decoding parameters which indicate the reliability of the decoded signals. One or more candidate transmission rates are identified based upon said decoding reliability parameters. If there is only one candidate transmission rate, the actual transmission rate is determined to be that candidate transmission rate. If there is more than one candidate transmission rate, the decoded signals are reencoded at the candidate transmission rates at which they were decoded. The bits of the communication are then compared with the bits of the reencoded signals for each candidate transmission rate to determine the actual transmission rate. A method and system is further disclosed for determining threshold values for comparison with the decoding reliability parameters in identifying the candidate transmission rates. A method and system is further disclosed which determines those threshold values on the basis of detected reception conditions, including the relative strength of multipath component signals and the total received power in the communication.
