The present invention relates to a method for measuring radio channel quality in a radio communication system. In the method a modulated signal is received over a communication channel. The modulated signal has been modulated by using modulation parameters. A decoder decodes () the modulated signal and forms decoded data. The decoder creates () a decoder performance indicator (PS) that depends on the decoded data. Then a radio channel quality indicator (RCQI) is created, the radio channel quality indicator being essentially independent of the modulation parameters.

Method for measuring radio channel quality and related equipment

A reception device includes a number of reception paths and a decoder. The reception paths are sequenced and each reception path includes a calculation module embodied to deliver a combined confidence index and a combined data stream, from the confidence index and the equalized data stream for the current path, as well as, for the subsequent reception paths after the first path, from the combined confidence index and the combined data stream, for the preceding path. The decoder is embodied to only process the combined confidence index and the combined data stream, provided by the calculation module in the last path.
