Abstract
A packet error rate estimator is configured to estimate packet error rate (PER). In an example, power or energy is calculated in one or more streams of I/Q samples over a period of time. The power or energy may be calculated for periods of time, e.g., bit-length periods of time, and a maximum value of bit-length power or energy may be selected over a packet-length period of time. The maximum power or energy associated with each stream of I/Q samples over the period of time may be compared to at least two threshold values. Each threshold value may be associated with an expected PER. Based at least in part on the comparing, and which of a plurality of threshold vales were (or were not) exceeded, a PER may be estimated for each stream of I/Q samples. The PER may be used to select a channel plan with less radio frequency noise.
